My son has been doing well on Atomoxetine 1.2mg per 1 kg body weight. Unfortunately now his pulse is consistently high at rest- over 120.
His dose will be slightly lowered to see if this will do any difference to his pulse. I am worried that it won’t make any difference and that we will be back to square one, trying yet another medication. I suppose this time Guanfacine…
I am worried that Guanfacine also will give some adverse reactions and then what next… It’s scary because Atomoxetine really works fine for him.
Has anyone had a positive story with lowering pulse when reducing daily dose of Atomoxetine?
Any feedback from parents whose kids had to stop Atomoxetine because of high pulse? What medication did you go for next?
