[tri-med] clonidine

Gabby was on clonidine for a while to help with behaviour but we ended up 
taking her off it because it seemed to knock her out too much, she was on 
Adderal which was supposed to even out her moods (hyperness and aggression) but 
it seeemed to have the opposite affect on her and increased the behaviours we 
were trying to correct so she was put on an Adderal/clonidine cocktail but it 
never seemed to even out, she'd be raring to go with the adderal and then she'd 
crash and burn with the clonidine.  Blood pressure is an issue but is was under 
the impression that it was originally designed as a med to lower blood 
pressure, but i could be wrong and have all my meds mixed up, currently Gabby 
is on Lamictal and Respiridal.  It seems to be helping a bit but i don't think 
we'll ever get the desired results without turning her into a zombie and that's 
a big no-no for us, i can live with the pinching but i can't live without the 
smiles and giggles.  if i can be of anymore help let me know
