She’s pretty sedentary. She goes to a personal trainer once a week and jumps on the trampoline for a few minutes once or twice a day. I try very hard to get her to exercise to no avail.

Op here and yes, this is true - it worked miraculously for our other DD for skin picking. But the pills are very large and smell bad. Younger DD wouldn’t touch them with a 10 foot pole.

Have you considered adding Clonidine or Intuniv with or without a stimulant?

We tried Intuitive. It seemed to make her irritable. We have not tried Clonidine.
