Clonidine is a blood pressure medication. It's what used to knock out Kiddo, too. New doctor switched her to Kapvay, which is the extended release version and doesn't knock her out but helps with the aggression. What dose was she on? The topamax is what doctor added for anxiety, and the trileptal as a stabilizer. She was already on the Abilify.
What I have learned is to time out her medications or she stays activated, so she gets Abilify, trileptal, and topamax at breakfast; trileptal and topamax right after school, kapvay at dinner time, and melatonin, magnesium, and omega-3 supplement an hour before bedtime. It also helps if after the last medications I dim the lights and make it cooler inside, makes it easier for her to just say "I'm tired, tuck me in," instead of fighting it.
