I'm kinda late in responding to this, so you may have already changed

something. But here is my opinion. Ebony has used clonidine for a long

time. There are two options.....1. take a clonidine break, even just a

couple of weeks. Then restart it. 2. up the dosage at the original time.

We tried to give Ebony a middle of the night dose for awhile and she was a

cranky old bear in the mornings. I don't think it had enough time to wear

off. Seriously though, she didn't start to really sleep through the night

well until we started risperdal. We still use the clonidine for her to fall

asleep, but it is the risperdal that keeps her asleep.

Just my .02
