When I found mysel thinking all negative thoughts, many of them angry thoughts, I knew it was time for another round of clonidine.

But I need more, so I am taking VERY small amounts of clonazepam, and address the ADD with Strattera (Atomoxetine). My doctor is doing a great job so far, and we are taking small steps, very gradually.
