[quote=Anonymous]Just throwing this out there. My inattentive ADHD daughter does well on Guanfacine. It is a non-stimulant, and it helps a little with emotional regulation, too. Zero impact on appetite. Her extremely slow processing speed turned out to partially be from SSRIs, which gave her severe apathy as a side effect and sort of turned her into a zombie. Also, a 504 with slow processing speed may be able to give him workload reduction as an accommodation. Mine, at her worst, had a 50% reduction. Stopping SSRIs in 9th grade with continued support and higher dose of Guanfacine, meant she was able to fully move off that accommodation by junior year. In college, she receives 50% extra time on tests, and nothing else. By second semester, she said she almost never uses the extra time, but what she really needs is the quiet testing center. [/quote]
