Actually, I have tried clonidine in the past and found it worked pretty well... my current pdoc prefers to use guanfacine (alpha-2 antagonist) instead, but there really doesn't seem to be much difference between the two. Maybe a bit more sedation on guanfacine, but in my case that's always a good thing.
Anyway, I think come tomorrow I'll just bring up amphetamines, pemoline, and high-dose fluoxetine as options, in that respective order. I know the schedule II stims (excepting Ritalin) help me out with this problem, but if he's only willing to try Prozac/Cylert and they don't work, I suppose I could always go back to the pdoc who was treating my childhood ADHD.
