Hi guys,
I need your input. My son was put on Clonidine about 4 months ago for both very high blood pressure, and for his anger. Well, yay for us, this combo only proved effective for 3 months. Now, his BiPolar (BP) is high again, despite increasing the Clonidine - and his outbursts have increased.
The tricky part is that this is being treated by a cardiologist because of the high BiPolar (BP) - but the medication is also helping mental issues (of course psychiatrist is in the loop). So we meet with the cardiologist Monday to probably change medications for BiPolar (BP) - but I want to have a list of medications that I could suggest that would help would also have the duel effect of helping with the anger mgmt.
Any advice on what other medications are out there?
