Any treatments when meds cause too many side effects
We’ve tried Jornay, Adderal, Concerta,
intuniv
and Strattera for ADHD and all have made her tics more frequent and noticeable. We stopped meds about 3 weeks ago and her tics have returned to being barely noticeable.

Guafacine/ intuniv hallucinations!
Mom to a 7 year old with adhd and dyslexia. He's a sweet and energetic guy who has increasingly become more reactive/aggressive at home and it was becoming pretty unlivable in family life. We started 1 MG of guafacine a week ago. His coping ability to manage emotions like anger during day have dramatically

Confusion
We then switched a few months ago to to a non stimulant
Intuniv
. He tried 1 mg then 2 and now is on 3. We see a therapist like most on this forum. I have no idea what to make of anything. He is like many at a loss for time and moved like a turtle.

Exhausted..
Now we are trying the non stimulant route with
intuniv
1 mg nightly (insert bed wetting) & no real change of hyperactivity or emotions. My son is ridiculously smart, actually being tested in the gifted and talented group this week at school.

ADHD meds might have made my son worse?
So then we tried Concerta with
intuniv
for sleep. My son never had issues with sleep but as soon as the meds came along he had sleep issues. He then gained a lot of weight so his self-esteem was shot and he became depressed. So we tried adding a mild anti depressant.

Prozac for Depression/ADHD 12 Year Old - Need Success Stories Please!
He is off all medication right now except for 1mg
Intuniv
ER, which we are weaning off of because he can't take that with Prozac. We are suspecting depression, and we need to get his mood in the right place then deal with the ADHD.

Intuniv for ADHD...when to give dose
My son, 11, was started on
Intuniv
(guanfacine) 1mg, 9 months ago 1hr before bed. Initially saw great results for ADHD and sleeping however, now we are having horrible sleep problems (takes over an hour to fall asleep, poor quality sleep, very little REM and Deep sleep).

Stopping Atomoxetine and decision not to reintroduce any medication until the summer holidays. Any experience from parents who stopped
Especially
Intuniv
I suppose- can’t be even stopped abruptly as can cause dangerous adverse reactions when stopped abruptly …

Give Zoloft/Sertraline AM or PM (along w/ Intuniv)
For those with a child that takes
Intuniv
and Zoloft do you give both in the morning? My son already takes
Intuniv
/Guanfacine extended release in the morning (3mg) and we are debating on adding Zoloft to help w some anxiety and also aggression which I feel is anxiety masked by anger.

oh the irritability… is it the stim or non-stim?
I am wondering if splitting the
Intuniv
dose between evening and morning could be effective and help counteract the irritability of the stim more? Drop the stim entirely?

Guanfacine 2MG ER + Qelbree Onboarding + Zoloft 50mg
Completed GeneSight testing (costs $330 out-of-pocket and NP had to order it) in August 2022 - discovered that
Intuniv
(Guanfacine ER) is the only ADHD med in the "Green" (aka fewer side effects) category. Qelbree, Concerta, Ritalin, & Focalin all in "Yellow" categories (some side effects).

Reasonably priced micronutrients?
He is on
intuniv
2mg and it seems to be helping. I've been trying tolook into proper nutrition to hopefully help manage what the
intuniv
isn't helping.

Stomachache and meds
Hi my 10yo son is on sertraline and
intuniv
. He went from 1mg to 2mg a couple months ago and I've noticed an increase in his complaints about stomach aches and motion sickness. Has anyone else experienced this and do you have any advice to help alleviate the stomach ache?

Inappropriate times for touching himself, ADHD, please help!
He's on
intuniv
2 mg, and his psychiatrist's only suggestion has been to talk to him about it being a private activity.
