Clonidine is generally considered a second-line option for impulsivity, and if you are experiencing worsening tinnitus, it is important to review this with your psychiatrist rather than continuing it as is.
Impulsivity is not a diagnosis in itself — it is a symptom, and the key is to understand the underlying condition. In adults, one of the common causes is ADHD, where impulsivity may be more prominent than hyperactivity.
Better-supported treatment options for such symptoms include medications like atomoxetine or methylphenidate, along with behavioural therapy.
However, before making any medication changes, a detailed psychiatric evaluation is essential — including assessment scales for adult ADHD and evaluation of other possible causes.
I would recommend a proper review so that we can reassess your diagnosis and tailor treatment accordingly. You can consult me on nine eight two six five four five six six zero for a detailed and structured evaluation.
