Catapres is used for many treatments, including for ADHD, hypertension, drug withdrawal, menopausal flushing. For ADHD, it's a non-stimulant treatment.
Catapres AKA Clonidine is a gentle tablet that tells your brain to calm the nerves that speed up your heart and raise blood pressure. Think of it as a soft brake for your body—often used to help keep blood pressure steadier or to ease certain nerve-related worries, so you feel less jittery and more settled day to day.
- It can cause drowsiness or dry mouth; rise slowly from sitting or lying to avoid light-headedness.
- Don’t stop it suddenly—your body prefers a slow taper with your care team’s OK.
- Share all medicines and health details, especially heart or kidney issues, so clashes can be avoided.

Clonidine 100 mcg (0.1 mg) — ADHD-specific dosing guidance
- For ADHD, clonidine is typically started at a low dose (e.g., 50–100 mcg daily), often divided into two or three doses, with the largest dose given at bedtime to manage sedation.
- The dose may be gradually increased based on symptom control and tolerability, under medical supervision.
- Extended-release formulations are commonly used for ADHD and allow for once- or twice-daily dosing; immediate-release forms require more frequent dosing.
- Dose adjustments should be made slowly to minimize side effects like drowsiness, low blood pressure, or slowed heart rate.
- It is especially important not to stop clonidine suddenly in ADHD treatment, as this can lead to rebound hypertension, agitation, or worsening of behavioral symptoms. Tapering must be done under a clinician’s guidance.
Always follow your prescribing doctor’s instructions. Individual dosing varies based on age, response, and other medications used for ADHD.
Before you take clonidine 100 mcg
- This medicine can lower blood pressure quickly and cause dizziness, sleepiness, or fainting, especially when you stand up. Rise slowly from sitting or lying.
- Do not stop it suddenly. Stopping fast can cause a rapid rise in blood pressure, shaking, or headache. If you need to stop, your clinician will guide a gradual reduction.
- Alcohol and other sedating medicines (including some sleep or anxiety aids) can add to drowsiness and slow your reactions. Avoid or limit them.
- Keep track of how you feel: light-headedness, slow pulse, or unusual tiredness can signal your dose is too strong. Tell your clinician if these occur.
- Store it safely away from children and pets, and use only the dose prescribed for you.
