Guest guest Posted September 10, 2006 Report Share Posted September 10, 2006 Has anyone's child tolerated one of these but not the other? We have a prescription to start clonidine for my 4 year old son to help with his ADHD issues at pre-school (can't sit during circle time, difficulty with transitioning, shifting attention, participating in activities, which all seems to relate to sensory overload, as he can go back to his small group at his VBA center and concentrate and participate just fine, but at the pre-school there are 12 kids instead of 3-4 and its not as loud and distracting) but I noticed here that many children who have tried the alpha-2-agonists usually use Tenex and I have heard that clonidine can be very sedating, so I was curious about experiences and also if any one has noticed improvement in the things I mentioned above with low-dose SSRIs instead of the typical ADHD meds (stimulants, Straterra, Tenex, etc). Thanks for any comment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
