Help with info on Clonidine med

[Guest guest]

For any parents out there who's children are on clonidine for aid with agressive

behaviors, I am needing some feedback. A few months ago, I submitted an e-mail

asking what meds everyone has found that worked best and ones that did not. I

received responses stating that clonidine worked well and did not seem to have a

" honeymoon " effect as some of the other meds did. My son Ty is 8 yrs old and we

have been trying Buspar which has turned out to have the honeymoon effect. I

told my doctor about clonidine and he was not very comfortable with trying it

but instead tried Klonopin which made him very aggitated as a side effect.

So, I am asking for responses from those of you who do use clonidine and what

type of response you saw with your child so that I can educate our physican. I

really hate doing this trial and error with Ty but do need some positive relief

for him. Any help would be great and appreciated.

Thanks and have a great day to all-

Jane, mom to Ty, 8 yr old CHaRgEr, 10 & Ysabel 5
