[QUOTE="Wiped Out, post: 394693, member: 1631"] difficult child has been on this medication for a long time. It's the only thing he can take to help with his ADHD part of him since the Bipolar is aggravated by stims. He takes 1/2 a pill 3 times a day and sometimes we give him more (prn). Once when he was in the hospital they took him off it because they wanted to try a medication that he couldn't have with the Clonidine. He was so super hyper that after about 8 hours they decided to put him right back on it. There have been occasional times when difficult child has missed a dose and other than an increase in hyperactivity he hasn't had any side effects. However, from what I've read they do say not to stop it cold turkey due to it being a blood pressure medication. [/QUOTE]
