WPW and Guanfacine
Does anyone have WPW also take
guanfacine
? I was diagnosed ADHD and WPW at the same time a few months back. The WPW means i can't take adhd stimulants. However, i've recently been looking into
guanfacine
, which is a non stimulant that helps with ADHD.

Guanfacine
My 7 yr old son with adhd who had been taking Concerta recently had
Guanfacine
added and takes it in the afternoon. The results have been amazing. For a week almost no issues at all. My wife and I couldn’t believe it. But last night he was extremely difficult when it was time for homework.

Will go back to short acting like he was on before and change his
guanfacine
to extended release and up it to 2mg if the 1mg isn’t enough.

Med Trials - Tell me Your Experiences
He currently takes 1mg immediate release
guanfacine
and .5mg resperidone in the morning, 1.5
guanfacine
at 4pm and 1mg resperidone at bedtime. I believe the
guanfacine
is not enough but before resperidone we tried increasing it and it makes him irritable/angry.

Anxiety and Aggression what Meds Have helped?
Because of the hyper/sensory/impulsivity need we’ve also tried some stimulants and
guanfacine
. We’re still in a place where he’s tearing apart a classroom or aggressive towards adults. He’s in a therapeutic school with lots of supports.

Drug holidays?
I am wondering what you think about stopping medications like Ritalin and
Guanfacine
over the weekend, resuming them Monday for school? I have been doing this to allow her to get her appetite back and get better sleep but I am not sure if I am doing a disservice to my kiddo.

Guanfacine ER 1 mg reviews
My son has been diagnosed with adhd a couple years back. He was taking Adderall XR but it wasn’t the right fit for my son. He is now 10 and we are starting with medication again along with therapy to help. My question is; can anyone share their child’s experience with me on this specific type of medication

ADHD Guanfacine HCL
Does anyone have experience with the extended release
guanfacine
hcl to treat ADHD? My kiddo just received that prescription and after reading about it, I am quite hesitant to have her try it as it is not as straight forward as Vyvanse or Concerta.

9 year old son with Emotional Outbursts
Anyone have experience with their child taking this vs taking
Guanfacine
? He also does some group therapy but it's more geared towards us on parenting strategies and how to manage "big emotions."

Guanfacine seems to be giving my daughter a coughing tick?
We were keen on
Guanfacine
bc I read it can help with RSD which we both have and has destroyed a lot of my life, I'd hoped we might have been able to save her from that 😔.

using guanfacine for adhd
The doctor prescribed
guanfacine
which is not a stimulant. He took it for the first time yesterday afternoon and it seemed to calm him down and no issues. Only one day in but the results were very good. That being said it has only been a day and we all know there are good and bad days.

Irritability and stimulants
He’s been on
Guanfacine
for about a year and it helped a lot with the emotional issues but not enough and not at all with the hyperactivity. Any suggestions? I’m out of ideas but we can’t live like this. I love him so much but he’s such a difficult kid.

Something new.....
He is currently taking the max dose of
Guanfacine
after school. We meet with the med dr to talk about anxiety on 9/11 as he is constantly chewing his fingers to the point where he hardly has any fingernails left.

Experimenting with Adderall XR
He is taking
Guanfacine
now, and it has helped a lot with impulsivity, but not necessarily with inattentiveness. On the other hand, I have been taking Adderall extended release myself for over a week now.

zoloft??
(He takes a very small does of
Guanfacine
at night but I don’t know that it does much) Lately his attitude is very crabby/cranky/angry. I know hormones can affect all of these medications so that could be an issue. If anyone has any feedback on pros or cons of Zoloft, can you give me some insight?
