I’m on clonidine because I have a multi-generational family history of aortic dissection. I was on vyvanse for about two years before my dad’s aorta killed him. I’ve never been more on top of my life than when I was on a stimulant. But clonidine absolutely does help me focus, and it reduces the noise in my head, even if the effects are less profound than the stim.
I just added buproprion back into my daily meds, hoping that’s going to help more with the executive dysfunction
I was on 2mg/day patch, but had to switch to pills because my skin hated the adhesive. For some reason the pills hit me harder so I’m on 0.5mg/2x/day at present
