Has anyone ever noticed (guanfacine or any other adhd med I suppose) having little to no effect on adhd symptoms while also on an oral antibiotic?

Hi! I’m curious about this too and sorry I don’t have an answer but I feel I had a similar situation. My son was recently on amoxicillin for the Strep virus and his ADHD symptoms were SUPER intensified. He takes Gaunfacine and I tried to research if gaunfacine and amoxicillin together were a bad combination but couldn’t find anything. All my doctor said was well since he doesn’t feel good his behavior would be intensified. But my mommy gut tells me there more to it than that.
