Bad dreams and ADHD
He currently takes adderall and
Guanfacine
. He still has bad dreams that wake him at night and in turn effect his sleep. I'm not sure if his bad dreams are related to ADHD or possibly undiagnosed anxiety. Has anyone else experienced this? How were you able to help your child with bad dreams?

Supplements/phosphatisdylserine
I have a 7 year old daughter who is currently taking
guanfacine
. Dr. had suggested her also taking Vayarin. Does anyone have good results from this or what about just taking the main ingredient, phosphatisdylserine?

Bed Wetting 7 year old
So he's on
Guanfacine
2mg every night. I know that can make a kid sleepy and might add to the problem but honestly, the incidence of bed-wetting hasn't increased since he started.

Help with 9 year old with ADHD
He is currently on 50 mg vyvanse and 3mg of
guanfacine
and .25mg risperidone. My son was diagnosed when he was 5. We have tried different types on medications but feel like I’m not getting anywhere. No one seems to understand.

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.
