Insomnia, Stimulant-Associated
"My 5 year has been on clonodine since he was 2 1/2 to help him go to sleep. He&#039;s been diagnosed with Autism and I don&#039;t know what I would have done if his doctor wouldn&#039;t have put him on clonidine. When he first started on it he was on the 0.1mg but as he grew it wasn&#039;t working as well so now he&#039;s on the 0.2mg and it works wonderful and he sleeps through the night again. This is the only medication I have let the doctors put him on simply because I&#039;m scared of the side effects of the medicines that the doctor uses to treat Autism."
