[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think Intuniv has 24 hour coverage, but guanfacine/tenex doesn't. This article says it only works for 8 hours. Presumably 1.5mg is a lower dose, since it only goes up to 4mg. https://www.aafp.org/afp/2011/0215/p468.html "The duration of action of guanfacine, at least at lower dosages, is no more than eight hours"[/quote] You didn't provide the full sentence/quote: ....The duration of action of guanfacine, at least at lower dosages, is no more than eight hours, [b]and higher dosages may be needed to produce sustained effectiveness.[/b][/quote] ....and Guanfacine is the generic name of Intuniv. When it's guanfacine extended release, it's Intuniv. When it's not extended release, it's Tenex[/quote]
