Insomnia, Stimulant-Associated
"I was prescribed this medication when I was 11 years old after having sleeping problems, basically since birth. Started taking one a night, built up an immunity, ended up taking three every night as a teenager.  At 19 years old, I decided I was sick of being dependent on this medication.  I slowly weaned myself off of them  but struggled to get a normal night sleep for about, a year.  Then, started taking Tylenol p.m. for sleep which, can be detrimental if used long term. I&#039;m now 22 and take three melatonin at night. Please, DONT GIVE CLONIDINE TO YOUR CHILDREN!  I am technically, still in the process of weaning myself off of sleeping meds, and it&#039;s been years."
