A member asked:
I have just been prescribed clonidine for my adhd. i take one dose morning and night. its my first time on adhd medication. how long till it helps? what can i expect once its working? will my dosing schedule provide around the clock improvement?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If medication is effective, twice a day dosage should be enough for symptom relief around the clock. This medication can make you sleepy at first then you will develop tolerance, Dry mouth is another common side effect. If medication is effective, you are more relaxed, engaged and more focused in daily life. Good luck.
