Can someone please explain the difference between tenax and clonidine and when they should be used. Currently using concerta in the morning, ritalin at 5:00 pm and clondine at 7:30 to take away from the rebounds and make him tired inorder to go to sleep. Does not seem to be working lately, currently taking two and half tablets of clonidine, I beleive 1 mg each. My son cannot sleep and seems to be angry and rebellious. Bedtime is very difficult.
My understanding is that clonidine is more sedating than the tenex. My daughter was angry and irritable when her stimulant dosage was too low. Finding the right dosage of Concerta helped. I also found that she was more irritable when her tenex dosage was too high. Perhaps, his dosages need adjustments.tenex has less of the sedating side effects and lasts longer. Have you tried melatonin for the sleep problem?
