In reply to Clonidine to Lower Norepinephrine??, posted by RetiredYoung on July 26, 2004, at 17:10:56
> Hello all - My pdoc has determined that the irritability and anger that I've been experiencing is due to inappropriately high levels of norepinephrine. He has prescribed clonidine as a remedy; he states that he has effectively used this in the past for similar cases, as clonidine, apparently, lowers the norepinephrine levels associated with rage, etc. In fact, he says that in certain patients, their feedback has been that they've never felt as relaxed.

Clonidine is often used with Ritalin to reduce the irritability and anger seen with it's use as well as in ADHD .http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=pubmed&dopt=Abstract&list_uids=9196923
