[quote=Anonymous]We tried both Guanfacine and clonidine for anxiety (and not yet diagnosed ADHD). Neither had an effect so we ended up on Prozac, eventually with Adderall. Our psychiatrist recommended them first because of fewer side effects than SSRIs. When the ADHD was diagnosed, she mentioned that they were a possible treatment but because he didn’t respond before, she would start with the stimulant. I mention this because if they don’t work, in our experience you shouldn’t give up hope. Also, it’s a very individual thing, so just because one was better for someone else doesn’t mean it will be better than the other drug for your kid. [/quote]
