Has Anyone Used Clonidine For ADHD And OCD?
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

Hello, has anyone used this medication for ADHD or OCD, was it good? did it change your child's personality at all? Puberty seems to be kicking things up into overdrive :-( thanks!

Yes, but please check your child's Blood Pressure daily if your child lets you because after I gave my child this medication when he was younger......his blood pressure dropped so fast/and did not move/ect....I had to call his doctor to adjust his dosage.........He was getting too much prescribed. But the medication is good....and had good results for the most part. He was only on one other seizure medication too.

Yes, we have adjusted dosage and lowered it because they added Prozac along with it. I can see why you are scared some of the antipsychotics are strong and you want to try to use them at low dose or just for a short period of time to get you by

thank you everyone. I'm still afraid to go there with my son but it might have to happen. I'm wondering if the spring allergies are making his OCD behaviors worse.

thank you @A MyAutismTeam Member. I don't know why I'm so scared to put him on it. It is a very low dose but I have heard some kids don't do well on it. you are happy with the Seraquil?
