is clonidine dangerous?
my questiob for you is,,, my 8 yrs old son is a ADHD. his doctor gave him Adderal 15mg, 15mg was too much for him gave him side effect, he move his finger too much. i told the Doctor, maybe it does not go away!! Doctor gave me Clonidine to control his finger. but I am afraid to have a reaction (side effect again)then, go with another medication.... I don't know if I should give this Clonidine to my son.... at the moment he's o.k he changed his medication to Aderral 10mg.
thanks

All medications have side effects and can be dangerous if not used properly. However, some side effects you should immediately call your doctor. These include:
Increased heart rate
Slow heart rate
Cold hands or feet
Mood changes or depression
If you are experiencing any of these, you should contact your doctor and discuss this with them.
There is some detailed information about Clonidine here. This will provide you with additional information on side effects and things to watch for.
I hope this helps
