[QUOTE="Stella Johnson, post: 452998, member: 9"] I haven't read all the replies so not sure what some of the other replies were. Clonodine when used for high blood pressure is usually an as needed blood pressure medication. I've gotten it at the ER when mine went out of control. It hasn't been out of control in a long time though once I found a medication that worked right. My dad used to take Metropolol so this is the only reason I know what I'm about to say. The doctor took him off it after he had his arteries roto rootered and didn't need it. Then he started having bouts of it going up sometimes. So the genius that he is, he started taking it whenever he felt like playing doctor. then later it would spike more. Found out from the cardio that Metropolol has to be taken on a regular basis if taken at all. Taking it with-o being on a regular schedule will make blood pressure spike up and down uncontrollably. So if he was on it but not taking it correctly this could cause some of his problem. I thought I had migraines years ago. I had the puking and everything. Then started monitoring my BiPolar (BP).... went to a cardio and started BiPolar (BP) medications and I after that until I got this neuro **** I hardly got them anymore. Something else to think about, has he ever had an EEG? How about recently? There are many types of seizures. Many cause mental health type symptoms. My difficult child was diagnosis'ed bipolar until they realized she was having 3 types of seizures and not all seizures are anything like grand mal. It wasn't until she had a grand mal that we started looking at it. Back when she was little we thought she was having highs and lows but now she is never what looks like "manic" anymore. I question whether she ever had any type of mental health diagnosis. I think it was more seizure activity than anything. Just my suggestion unless you have already gone that route already. Does he see a cardiologist? If not he should really see one. Blood pressure otu of control can do lots of damage even at his age but I'm sure you know that already. Hope things get better for you soon. Hugs [/QUOTE]
