I am in the same predicament I have a 7 year old boy we are now taking strettera so far I see different issues I to heard about Clonidine. If anyone is using strettera please reach out to me and let me know you experience with this medication. Thank you
@A MyAutismTeam Member same here! Well so far we've tried this and clonodine but both medications caused her to b more hyper at night. Hopefully we will find the right medication for her. Thank you!
