The inpatient facility is going to trial 0.05mg 3x/day of Clonidine beginning tonight. He is currently on 1500mg Depakote and 600mg Seroquel.
The psychiatrist told me it can help with hyper arousal, like when he is coming against something when he isn't getting his way. He said it is an alpha 2 blocker (whatever that is) and it is commonly used for high blood pressure...but is used for ADHD as well. He said it improves attention...and they may titrate up to 0.1 mg 3x/day.
Any experience with this medication????
