[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have you tried intuniv/guanfacine er? If his is more hyper/impulsive than inattentive, it might be worth considering. It takes a few weeks to build up in the system and it's something you need to take every day/can't take a med break.[/quote] Yes. it made him flat and sort of joyless. DC's ADHD is quite hard to medicate, but adderall is ok for him and helps. His body just burns it up fast. I think he just finds it to be upsetting that he has to be medicated at all. Like there is something 'wrong'. And no amount of his dad telling him he also takes adderall or us telling him it shouldn't make him less 'him', seems to solve for this. [/quote]
