Update - Rx of Clonidine - please help! | ADHD Information

Share

I posted this in my original question about clonidine, but I was afraid it might get lost in the millions of posts that this board has (Maybe i'm over exaggerating, but still...it's worth a shot).

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance!

 

Ok.  Here's a brief update...

On Friday at 4pm I gave my son 1/2 of the .1mg tablet.  It dissolved quite quick in his mouth - no biggie..washed it right down.  He got a little drowsy and fell asleep shortly before dinner and then again while he was trying to eat.  I was told that he would be drowsy for a day or two while starting the meds, but it would even out and he wouldn't be drowsy.

Then, I got a phone call from his father saying that he was complaining of stomach pain.  Stomach cramps wasn't listed on the side affects (unless I wasn't reading it properly).  Any idea what this could have been?  Will the drowsiness continue or will it diminish as we continue to give him the clonidine as it is such as small small dose??

Thanks!
