Feeling down
My son has been on Focalin XR and
Guanfacine
ER for about four months. Things improved somewhat as the daily phone calls from the school stopped; however the incidents he has had seem to feel more dangerous. He tried to hurt another child at school on Friday and had to be picked up.

Can I alternate meds for 7 yr old?
She barely touches her lunch, then
Guanfacine
after school. She will eat a bit right after school and no appetite until 7:30pm At this point she is starving and she will eat a good meal.

5yr old ADHD
Is taking
guanfacine
which helps with body restless and movements, but he is becoming verbally agressive at school, saying mean things, and extremely back talks at home. He is also constipated because he refuses to go to the bathroom at school.

Help!!
We also tried
Guanfacine
5mg that made no difference at all. He’s doing fine academically but we just can’t seem to get him to focus and not interrupt the class, or do what he’s told to do the first time without whining about it. Should I be looking more into an IEP and try yet another medication?

Feeling Overwhelmed
We're on February break and just started
guanfacine
(the methylphenidate didn't work well), so hopefully when he goes back to school things will be better. I have no clue what to do this summer (I'm a single mom and dad is not involved). Last summer he got kicked out of camp for behavior issues.

New here
We tried
guanfacine
as his first medication but it did not help at all and we were very hesitant to try any kind of stimulant due to his age. We finally broke down last week and agreed to try Ritalin because we just cannot manage the behaviors.

Intuniv side effects
We recently switched our son to
Guanfacine
, the generic version of Intuniv - a non-stimulant. I have know people who have taken
Guanfacine
and have had tremendous results, so I was hopeful.

7yr old on Focalin but something has to change
He has taken
guanfacine
and tenex in the past. The
guanfacine
had no effect on him and the tenex made him an emotional mess! We have had him on Focalin XR during the day and Focalin in the evening. He has been taking this medication for 4mos but the behaviors have not improved.

Guanfacine
My son started on 10mg of
guanfacine
at night for one week. We haven't seen any positive changes at school or home. He's still verbally impulsive, mean and invading others personal space at school and still talking non stop, interrupting and not staying on task at home.

Medication issues
She currently is on strattera,
guanfacine
and respiradol. The medicine for adhd is at it's highest allowed dose for her weight, but the genetic testing revealed in order for it to help she needs a higher dose.

Looking for advice
Currently he is on
guanfacine
HLC 2 mg a day. I am trying to steer clear of putting him on a stimulant because he was on vyvanse and I noticed a huge increase in his temper and aggression . I notice the
guanfacine
working but not huge amounts..
