[quote=Anonymous]We found the guanfacine/adderall combo a winner for my teen's ADHD. Guanfacine taken in the evening keeps it effective until after school - it's about a 17 hour half life for the extended release. Paired with adderall in the morning, we found it counteracts some of the jitters/twitchiness that adderall can cause making the two together work much better than either one alone. We tried Clonidine prior, but the side effects of Clonidine were bad for my kid. They'd stumble over finding the right word for things which caused something that looked a lot like a stutter. Guanfacine tends to work better in younger kids than it does for older so it's not a bad place to start.[/quote]
