[quote=Anonymous]To the PP who noted their kid was on guanfacine, did you notice any improvements before adding the stimulant? We've tried stimulant medications in the past and they are not well-tolerated by my son. We were going to start guanfacine but didn't end up pursuing it for any number of reasons. Based on what I'm reading in this thread, I'm wondering if it's time to get back and at least give a non-stimulant a try. Other posters, have any of you had the experience that your child was more able to tolerate the stimulant side-effects as they got older? When we tried the first two stimulants, we had pretty noticeable negative impacts including the complete inability to sleep and nonstop twitching/tics. It wore off with the meds but definitely not something that we could tolerate on a daily basis.[/quote]
