Hello mamas:
Do any of you have children who have taken Cloninide for behavior problems (aggression, tantrums, rages)? My 5-year-old son has been prescribed this medication, and I am just wondering if any of you have had experience with this medication. I am very reluctant to give my son medication, so I am curious if anyone else has had experience with this medication.
I am wondering. . . . .
My son also does NOT take medication well under any circumstances. Last year he had MRSA (resistant staph infection) and almost had to be hospitalized because he refused to take the antibiotics, even if it was in ice cream or a milkshake. He is very resistant to taking medications of any kinds. Has anyone had this experience with kids being unwilling to take meds? What did you do?
Also, for people with kids who take medication for behavior, how did you explain this to your child? I don't want him to feel damaged or "bad."
I guess I have a lot of questions. Any help with the above would be appreciated.

- How effective was this medication for your child?
- Child's age, dose, reason for taking (if you don't mind sharing)?
- How long did your child take this or has your child taken it?
- Did your child have any side effects? How severe?
- Do you have any concerns about this medication?
