How long does it take for Clonidine to work?

For those with ADHD, Clonidine’s calming effects and improvements in focus can be noticed within a few weeks. Consistent use as prescribed is typically necessary to achieve the full benefits, which may take up to 4-8 weeks to experience once the right dosage is determined.

You'll likely need to work with your licensed prescriber to gradually adjust your dosage until you land on an effective dose for you.
