[quote=Anonymous]We need to change DS's ADHD medication. He's primarily inattentive/impulsive, not hyperactive. The main thing we're looking for in medication is improved attention, executive functioning, working memory, etc. He's been on Focalin a couple of months, building up to 20 mgs, but we're not seeing enough benefits to outweigh the negatives - primarily he's losing too much weight and we've recently noticed a slight tic. My DH also has ADHD and has tried Concerta and Stratera with no effect and we're assuming they'll be no more effective for DS so our doctor asked us to consider Intuniv. I understand it's been around a while as a blood pressure medication but is newly available as an ADHD medication. I'm just beginning to research it and saw over the last few months a least a few people here mentioned using it. So, how long has your child been using it and what do you think? Thanks![/quote]
