[quote=Anonymous]Yes OP. My DD was on Lexapro for a year that kinda just numbed her a bit before getting an ADHD diagnosis. They are now on Methylphenidate and did very well. So after a month went from 10 to 5mg of Lexapro over 2 weeks and then 2.5mg for another two weeks and then started .1mg of Clonidine in AM, Magnesium Gluconinate after dinner, and .2mg of Clonidine at bedtime. That along with a multi vitamin, vitamin D, and fish oil daily and she is a new person. Sleeps well, isn’t “numb” but is calmer, more focused, and so much less impulses, blurting out, or shifting/fidgeting. Clonidine will make them tired the first week or so, so it’s better to start in summer, a school break or at least like a Wednesday of a 4 day weekend. Dong give up on it right away if you try it!
