my 16 year old son has severe autism.....lots of anxiety, aggression, sleep issues, stomach issues....the whole ball of wax...anyway, he's been on several drugs, including the most common for autism, which is risperdal...it did nothing for him...did not help with anxiety or sleep...so his Dr. took him off, and put him on clonidine and trazadone....what a difference...he's so much happier and calmer, that i cannot believe it....like a different kid

This drug has worked wonders my autistic son. It is the only med he takes now after several trials of others. He also has ADD/ADHD and it helps with that too. He sleeps well at night and can focus during the day. I love it. Try it.

You need to read that last line again lol , it's for hypertension yes key word being HYPER , my son is 7 he is autistic and is incredibly hyper , giving your son clonidine is the safest drug to give a child better then xanex better then Ritalin and I'd be in trouble if my son doctor decided to change his meds

It's not just to lower BP. It's a sedative type medication, which has the side effect of lowering BP when it's high. It's also given in such low doses for children that it doesn't affect their BP. Do some more research before you discount this drug. If you have all of those research options, you should be able to find out the uses and effects of this drug in full, not just the most widely known use

Mine takes cyproheptadine and clonodine. The clonodine makes them sleepy. Cyproheptadine makes the stomach empty faster, and will help maintain sleep. We recently started .05 mg clonodine, and we have a calm and happy child now. Huge difference. The screaming has stopped.

klonopin, I believe is the narcotic/barbiturates you're referring to. very different from clonidine which we are referring to.

Hi! We were prescribed Clonidine for our son. . I’m curious on what timing most people use to take through out day. He is also on Ritalin which doctor left him on as well. I am finding mixed reviews on having him on both meds. Interested in thoughts.
