[quote=Anonymous]My kid has adhd, low processing speed and above average IQ (per stixrud report, most areas above 85%, except for processing speed, which is 24%). We have tried: Guafacine Focalin Concerta Vyvanse The guafacine doesn’t seem to do much besides make her tired. The stimulants decrease her appetite and make it hard for her to fall asleep, but don’t seem to increase focus. Weirdly, they seem to decrease processing speed or make her seem more spacey/in her own world/less engaged. Any improvement in focus seems pretty minor to us—we can’t really see a huge difference to anything besides appetite and sleep. What, if anything, should we try next? [/quote]
