[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 238938, member: 3419"] Smallworld, I wrote about it a cpl wks ago ... I'll try to find the link. He took 1/2 of a 25 mg pill for 8 days, and we were supposed to remove the Clonidine at night, and then gradually remove it in the a.m. We removed the Clonidine and he did okay for a day or two and gradually got bossier. He also seemed a bit hyper, almost like his Adderal wasn't working. Like he had ants in his pants. He talked a lot. It was an underlying agitation and slightly raised energy level. He spent a lot of time on the phone, at the same time he was playing PS2. He would fall asleep around 10 at night, sometimes even 9, due to the Vistaril. Then he'd wake up any time between 2-3 a.m. Sometimes he read, but that was only after we caught him playing on the PS 2 and locked everything up. He does not run around and scream at night, he just gets up and does what he wants to do. He falls asleep sometime around 4 or 5 a.m., and then cannot get up to go to school that morning. He is a monster if we try to get him up. He used to always rage in the a.m., but behavior modification helped a bit. The huge changes came after his recent psychiatric hospital stay, when we got him on the Clonidine and Vistaril. Those medications and a consistent routine helped immensely. We were backsliding about a yr ago, so we increased his Adderal to 25 mg. That helped a lot. Now we're backsliding again, but it's due to lack of sleep, even with the Vistaril. Also, the other night I gave him a Desmopressin, since I saw him drinking juice at 9, which is way too late, and he wet the bed anyway. It used to work 100% of the time. I think part of it is his hormones and growth level ... it's like nothing is working like it used to. [/QUOTE]
