Can clonidine be used as a sleep aide in children?
I was on Clonidine as a child from the time I was first diagnosed ADHD at age 6. I was on Ritalin during the day and because it is a stimulant it caused insomnia which then Clonidine was added. I did much better in school after I had a full night sleep. I wonder if Ritalin was even necessary since improvement wasn't even noticeable until the Clonidine was added. I think if lack of sleep is disrupting the child's life (i.e. behavior and/or school) then Clonidine should be an option.
