What kind of dosages of clonidine are people on and what for?

Im interested in its dosage and dose frequency when used to counter the physical side effects of dexamphetamine.

Any input would be great!

Did you ever find any info on this? I'm going to see my doctor this week, and I'll be requesting clonidine or guanfacine for the dexedrine side-effects as well.

Good luck getting the guanfacine with Dexedrine, I tried and got a curt smile and told no.

As for clonadine. I was on Ritalin from ages 7-12 or so and they had me on clonidine at least some of that time as I remember. (It just made me sleep). I believe I was on 10mg of Ritalin 2 or 3 times a day and I took 0.1mg of clonidine 2 a day. I remember it also being for tourette's and to calm me down from the insomnia I got from the ****alin.

Hrm, did they say why? I haven't uncovered anything that would suggest that adding the two would be a problem. On the contrary, it seems like it would be the better choice since it seems to be more effective than clonidine with ADHD symptoms.
