"i have a 8 year old son with adhd. he is extremely hyper and unable to focus, school and friends became a true nightmare. we see a wonderful and highly respected psychiatrist. he is very knowledgeable on adhd medicines. i was told when their is an emotional factor to the adhd, clonidine is the best medication for this. we tried clonidine after many stimulants and non-stimulants also anti-psychotics. clonidine 1.0 mg 2x a day this was the only medicine that we saw immediate results with. the only side effect was the tiredness, which did go away. i started him on the kapavy 2 weeks ago. this medicine is a true god send. he is calm, focused, and far less emotional. we can&#039;t say enough great things. please give this medicine a try."
