clonidine

Our doctor perscribed clonidine for our 10 yr boy to help with frustration/anger management. i am nervous about how it might affect his blood pressure. i know it has been used in numberous kids, but curious if anyone has had bad experiences.

Try it but always monitor....

Yeah, Clonidine lowers blood pressure by allowing the blood vessels to relax and the heart to beat more slowly and easily. Just monitor regularly and work in conjunction with your treating psychiatrist/neurologist/doctor and inform them what works and what doesn't.

clonidine and sleep wetting

my 7yr old takes this medication at night for insomnia. He has been on for at least 6 months if not longer and since educating and paying closer attention we have learned that he could be having problems with sleep wetting. my husband and i were relating problem with being lazy and not getting up at night to go, but then became informed that the medication could be relaxing to much. informed doctor she suggested that we cut down med to 1/2 dose hoping that it would not knock him out so much and he could get up at night, but we find that he stays awake little later, still wets self as much and becomes more crabby in am what can we do
