A member asked:
Wouldn't it be safer to take the concerta in the am and the clonidine at night? & how do i work around the next day drowsiness caused by clonidine?

Please speak with: your doctor about your medications and any side effects you may be having. Yes, Concerta is usually taken in the AM and Clonidine at bedtime. However, if this is not the regimen you are on, please discuss with your doctor, especially if you are still drowsy in the AM.
