If you are a parent on a cruise, you have a few very important pertinent jobs.

You make sure that your kid gets back on the boat after they leave the port.

You make sure you know where your kids are and that they're safe at any given time.

And let's throw in a third one.

You make sure that they take their meds.

Concerta and Clonidine is a pretty commonly prescribed combination.

So Concerta is typically prescribed for ADHD.

It's kind of like, I guess, more typically Vyvanse, Adderall are common names.

It's not the same drug, it's different, but it's in that family.

And Clonidine is for insomnia.

So Concerta is like Adderall.

It's a stimulant for ADHD.

A lot of people report that it's less of a huge up and down.

So I know if you've taken Adderall before, you're probably like, oh my gosh, okay, this kid is on Adderall.

It could be a little dangerous, but it's not like Adderall, it seems, where the crashes are big.

It seems a little bit more of a plateau, but it does keep you up because it's a stimulant.

It increases dopamine and norepinephrine in the brain.

And of course this interacts with each person differently.

And clonidine can be prescribed for a lot of things, including insomnia, which can help with the Concerta.

So you've got this stimulant in the morning for ADHD, and then you probably take clonidine at night so that you can kind of release that anxiety and get to bed.
