A member asked:

Why does my daughter get hungry after taking her trazodone and clonadine?

Check in w your doc: Neither trazodone or Clonidine are associated with increased hunger or appetite. Perhaps the meds are given in the evening at a time when your child's vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine) is wearing off. Check in with your child's doctor re appetite changes.

Timing? : Usually trazodone&clonidine are given at bedtime, vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine) is given in morning, of course. Certainly, offset hunger can occur w/ vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine). It depends on timing of am dose. Clonidine increases growth hormone release in some people & may trigger hunger in these individuals. If hunger is after bedtime meds, it implies she arises after retiring. Please provide more data for a proper response.
