tics and jerky movements
Guanfacine
didn’t help. He’s on 25 of sertraline which calms him a little bit but I’m worried! It’s been years!

Help/Guidance for our Son
He is currently taking 150mg of Qelbree in the morning and 2mg of
Guanfacine
in the evening -- but it's not doing anything productive. Further, the next step we are told is to have family therapy for us and him but the next appointment isn't until the Fall.

Guanfacine
Good morning, my 6 year old son has been in
Guanfacine
for about 3 weeks now. He was diagnosed with ADHD and ASD. He takes 1mg once a day in the mornings. Initially it seemed to work great, especially during school hours. Now he seems to be more active and little aggressive.

Abnormally Long Adderall Rebound?
I started taking it again within the last couple months along with
guanfacine
on my psych's recommendation, but since then I saw a noticeable increase in irritability.

Need some guidance
And also take 1 mg of
guanfacine
Er to help her sleep at night which some time works or we need to give her melatonin. But almost 2 weeks ago she started taking methylphenidate 20mg because vyvanse was not working anymore and her teacher was complaining a lot about her behavior.

Spectrum Med Questions
Our current next step is to try sertraline with
guanfacine
for his anxiety. Does anyone have experience with this? Or similar situations and other meds you’ve tried for anxiety and/or aggression. Thank you in advance!!

How long does guanfacine take to kick in?
My 5 year old just started
guanfacine
after Focalin didn’t seem to help much. He’s on 0.5ml twice a day. He has ADHD and can be violent. How long does it take for this to kick in usually? Was this medication helpful in your experience?

Guanfacine and N-acetylcysteine (NAC-600 mg)
I recently posted a link to an article that talked about treating brain fog with a combination of
Guanfacine
, a prescription drug used for treating high blood pressure, and N-acetylcysteine (NAC-600 mg), which I gather is an over-the-counter supplement.

Lowering Atomoxetine daily dose due to high pulse. Anyone had this resolving after lowering daily dose?
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?

Managing time and long-term planning?
The
Guanfacine
is supposed to help with that, but ultimately all I've noticed on that is that I have absolute crashes both at the height of my Adderall's effectiveness and as soon as it wears off, making me fall-asleep-in-my-chair exhausted.

Stimulants during school breaks/summer?
Hi everyone, My son recently started on Focalin, which he takes in the mornings; he also takes
Guanfacine
in the evenings. He's just started his spring break. Since he's out of school, I thought I might give him a break from Focalin, which can give him late-afternoon mood swings.

My son takes medicine for his ADHD (Guanfacine) but I’m seeing an increase in his anxiety. When do doctors start treating that?
I do not want to start him on more meds!! He is only nine.

Switch from stimulant to non-stimulant
He took the
Guanfacine
last night, but the tiredness seems to be really kicking in now. Does anyone have experience with
Guanfacine
and this side effect? Does it get better with time?

what does Guanfacine do? How does it affect your child after taking it?
My son just turned 12. He has severe ADHD and mild ASD. We just started Neurofeedback and it shows his anxiety is through the roof. It is definitely causing his major malfunctions. I think it’s time we rethink his meds. He has been on Lexapro 20 mg but I don’t think it’s doing its job for him. He
