Clonidine
"My 14 year old son has ADHD. He was diagnosed 8 years ago. He was prescribed Vyvanse in May 2008.  It wasn't working. He gained weight and inches. He couldn't sleep. He became aggressive and lazy. His heart began to race and his old tics returned. We were referred to a psychologist. He prescribed clonidine. His failing grades went to A's.  It controlled his moods, calmed his heart, and the tics disappeared. Also he sleeps well now.  We are thrilled. He is also more organized."
