- Clonidine (Kapvay) is known to cause sedation or sleepiness as a common side effect, so the statement about the medication not making the child sleepy indicates a misunderstanding.- Clonidine is not typically prescribed with planned drug holidays (periods of time off the medication) for ADHD treatment, which is more common with stimulant medications. This suggests a need for clarification.
