Can you take clonidine and focalin together to help tics caused from the adhd medicine.
Clonidine is a drug that is used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and hypertension. Clonidine HCl is the hydrochloride salt of Clonidine (the free base), and it is more soluble in water than ins the free base. The 0.1 mg is the usual oral dose.
Clonidine is sometimes used for that purpose, particularly with ADHD. Here's a reference: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8935206
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.
Yes, Clonidine and Clonidine HCL are the same. They are both in the family of medications called antihypertensives. They should not be used without a prescription.
he didn't have adhd. people disaplined their children then therefore adhd didn't exist.
If is completely fine to take the drugs Clonidine and Vyvanse. Clonidine will help you with your sleeping problems.
It's prescribed antihypertensive agent, treatment of neuropathic pain, opioid detoxification, sleep hyperhidrosis, anesthetics use, and off-label, to counter the side effects of stimulant medications such as methylphenidate or amphetamine. It is becoming a more accepted treatment for insomnia, as well as for relief of menopausal symptoms. Clonidine is increasingly used in conjunction with stimulants to treat attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), for which it is administered in late afternoon or evening for sleep, and because it sometimes helps moderate ADHD-associated impulsive and oppositional behavior, and may reduce tics. Clonidine can be used in the treatment of Tourette syndrome. Clonidine is also a mild sedative, and can be used as premedication before surgery or procedures.
ADHD is rooted in the underdevelopment of certain regions of the brain. However, the symptoms of ADHD affect a person in school, work, and even personal relationships.
The generic name is clonidine and the brand name is Catapres..
