[quote=Anonymous]My teen takes Guanfacine. I’ve approached it as general medication awareness talk. We’ve talked many times about how it impacts your BP, and you can’t quit cold Turkey for that reason especially. I’ve also told her numerous times that you can’t take it and drink alcohol because there are really bad side effects. I dropped her off at a nighttime pool party recently and reminded her right before. “Hey, I know this is a ‘teen party’ and all that, and I want to remind you that Guanfacine, which you take every night, and alcohol are not friends. Ok? It’s a really bad mix.” She responded well to that. I tried to make it a medical issue, not a moral one.[/quote]
