Irritability with Intuniv?
I wanted to decrease the
Intuniv
but I read that it shouldn't be cut in half.

Anger issues/ explosive outbursts
Recently he started
intuniv
….. We are struggling with his intense outburst of anger when he’s mad. Usually triggered by homework, not getting what he wants or he’ll just be in a “mood”. He is damaging our house, physically aggressive etc.

Inattentive ADD - trying to find right medication - stimulants make her defiant and avoid schoolwork, nonstimulants haven’t been successful
We’ve tried
intuniv
before and discontinued as she SAID she didn’t like the way it make her feel AND about 10min after taking the lowest dose, she went to bed and slept hard for a couple hours. (Way before bedtime).

Switching from stimulant to non-stimulant
His pediatrician lowered his dose back down to 27mg and added
Intuniv
at night. We really haven’t seen a positive change. We recently had the genetic test called Genomind. His doctor said it showed Concerta many not be the right medication for him. She mentioned switching to Strattera only.

Guanfacine HCL extended release (Intuniv)
My son takes guanfacine extended release in the morning for ADHD, but he is sleepy at school. If he switched to taking it before bed, would he be less sleepy at school the next day?

No further forwards at 47
Psychiatry uk then leave a message on the online account ( it’s all online , no one speaks to you ) saying they want to try
Intuniv
. At this point , I’m feeling a mess with anxiety , so I say I don’t want to try this drug, and since then , nothing .

Back to Square 1
We tried making the switch to just
intuniv
and it allowed him to sleep better and gain some weight!!! But very little impulse control. Then we added back in 10 mg biphentin and definitely an improvement but not back to where we were. So now up to 15 mg biphentin and 2 mg
intuniv
.

Help with focus
Not sure if the latter is a side effect of
intuniv
. We decided to try vyvanse again for focus starting about a few days ago, in addition to
intuniv
. Now, she is beginning to show rough edges again.

He has been on
Intuniv
but with no impact. Has a prescription for CBD isolate oil but haven't used it yet. He craves movement and will begin morning walks daily. Also starting an eating intervention as he is a picky eater. Regards Daniel's mum, Jackie

Eloping son with ADHD
He takes Focalin XR 15 mg in the morning and
Intuniv
2mg at 4pm. He does great on the Focalin XR until about noon and then he crashes and become angry. He cannot possibly being burning through the extended release that quickly because he gets a 2nd wind of focused energy at about 3pm.

Has anyone experienced these issues?
We felt like we have found a good fit with vivance alongside
intuniv
, however after about a month on this dose, there are some behaviour changes that are concerning. Mostly in the last couple of days with school.

I need encouragement
Started 1mg
Intuniv
today. Hoping to see some relief over the next 5 days. Does anyone have a story for me that’s positive. Like... his emotions/temperament may regulate as he gets older. Or like 70% of kids out grow their ODD.

15yr old son unable to take stimulant meds now trialing Wellbutrin
We recently put him on
intuniv
4mg but unfortunately with no positive response. We’re now trialing Wellbutrin given that his mood is down and he’s unmotivated and his psychiatrist thinks Wellbutrin targets these symptoms.

Extreme fatigue from increase in Intuniv?
My son went from 1mg to 2mg of
Intuniv
yesterday and is exhibiting sleepiness. Anyone else experienced this and how long should that last, if at all?
