my son takes short acting methylphenidate w guanfacine and the two combined have done wonders for him. They both do different things for him. I know it’s different for everyone. We started w the stimulant which work really well for his hyperactivity and focus. We added the guanfacine later which really helped with impulsivity and emotional regulation (the stimulant helped w little w that but also made both of those worse when they wore off so guanfacine evened him out.
