Guanfacine- 1st Day
My 9 year old started using
Guanfacine
last night and started on 1mg. I know it’s still very new but did anyone here experience increased appetite? Also any thoughts or experience with
Guanfacine
that you could share with me will also be helpful. Just a little background.

Antidepressants for ADHD and aggression
We have trialed many different medications including Adderall,
guanfacine
, clonidine, etc. The only class we haven’t tried are antidepressant medications.

Guanfacine/Intuniv: immediate vs. extended release??
Can anyone share some advice on
guanfacine
? My son (7) did not tolerate stimulants so we started him on
guanfacine
immediate release, titrating last summer up to .5mg 3x/day. We had great results at that dosage. Then, for convenience, we decided to a switch to once a day, extended release Intuniv.

Adderal XR and Guanfacine
My son takes Focalin XR and
guanfacine
at night because it helps him slow down. Anyone else seen this drug interaction?

Started Guanfacine(Intuniv)
About a week ago we started 1mg
guanfacine
and so far so good! It seems to really calm him down and take the edge off. He's able to handle things without getting so upset. He's only had 1 "hard" day since he's been on it just over a week.

What is your experience with Lexapro and Folcalin?
We were also giving him 1.5 tabs of
Guanfacine
in the evening. The
guanfacine
did not give good results and his psychiatrist is suggesting trying Lexapro and dropping the
Guanfacine
. Anyone have experience with Lexapro with anxiety and rigidity?

Zoloft added to ADHD meds
Does anyone out there have a teen/adult child who takes vyvanse,
guanfacine
AND zoloft? my daughter is considering trying Zoloft. Wondering if she will need to stop
guanfacine
in order to do so. I know we need to speak to doctor first.

20 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WITH INATTENTIVE ADHD AND ANXIETY
She takes Vyvanse and
Guanfacine
(to help the crash from Vyvnse). I realize anxiety is often another condition found with ADHD- HERE IS MY QUESTION I don't know what to do about the anxiety/irritability/crankiness. Are they all the same thing? Does she need something like Zoloft for that?

ADHD with major anxiety and stress
Medication hasn't been effective (
Guanfacine
, Lamotrigine, Abilify) and mostly made it worse with side effects. We finally got the IEP going and it seems like it's just having specialist put pressure on him to get his work done in class.

Extreme fatigue. Could it be the trileptal? Low sodium?
My soon to be 9 year old son has been on
Guanfacine
for 1.5 years. We are on 3mg. Once a day. Started having more issues at home and the school too. Psychiatrist added trileptal - 75mg am, and 75 mg after school. It’s been 3 weeks and 2 days since we started.

Anyone Else Highly Distractible? Potential ADD Comorbidity?
I am on a non-stimulant ADD medication called
Guanfacine
and I am in the early stages of it, but I think it is making me really sleepy so it is hard to concentrate because of that. In any case, wondering if anyone has had similar issues!

New med
My son has been taking
guanfacine
for over a year and the Dr is switching him to Straterra. Does anyone know if he needs to be tapered off and if he'll have rebound hypertension? Also does anyone have information on Straterra and it's success? Or if it affects children's liver alot?
