A member asked:
How effective is clonodine for adult adhd vs strattera (atomoxetine) or intuniv? stimulants cause me bad anxiety. what's the best option that causes no drowsiness?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Clonidine may work: stimulants have a better success rate. However second line medications such as straterra may help with less appetite problems or insomnia. Intuniv is a long acting med. that is similar to clonidine. If you are trying one I would suggest intuniv. Side affects could be fatigue and lowering of blood pressure.
