I started my daughter on clonidine and she broke out in a horrible rash after just .5 mg. The doctor is switching her to orap and we will start it tomorrow.
working great on my tics, im just very sleepy all day long, orap or depression?

tried and moved on
clomipramine. worked but side effects unbearable
seems to do okay if it was by itself
totally awful drug, my son was up the wall whilst on this. Dangerous drug. Son was very emotional on it to put it mildly.
taken in tandom with respridal and also worked 'til I was 13.
I was put on orap at 18 years old. It worked a little bit for a while but I had some side effects because of it.
