My son was diagnosed with ADHD; he had trouble with sleeping, among others, and was prescribed with Melatonin, first. Two weeks after, we decided to ask his doctor about some other therapy, because this one, Melatonin, not seem to be working. We are repeating the same old story. This thing happened in the past so many times. Now, my son is put on Clonidine. Can you tell me why? Clonidine is antihypertensive drug!

Clonidine is antihypertensive drug, but also can be used for treating sleep problems in children with ADHD. Melatonin is hormone, but can also be used for ADHD sleep problems. Is not ours to know why doctors do what they do, the only thing that matters is if Clonidine can help or not. Try it and then judge it. Clonidine worked for my daughter.
