[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter has been taking Intuniv for 2 weeks today.  Last week she was bumped up from 1mg to 2mgs.  In the last several days I have been seeing her not be able to sleep because she is having horrible nightmares or she will fall asleep but then wake up from nightmares that seem to be very vivid?  Has anyone else gone through this and has it subsided with time?  I also will notice her face being very pale which makes me think her blood pressure is dropping.  She has never had problems with sleeping before and is taking Intuniv for her inability to concentrate not hyperactivity.  Any advice would be greatly appreciated!![/quote]Our son is 12 and has started on his 2nd week of 3mg. He is also having nightmares that aren't of scary monsters just vivid about things flying toward him like shadows. He cries and is very scared but once he is asleep he sleeps through the night. It's like falling asleep or when he first falls asleep. Tics and behavior has improved alot just the nightmares. Does anyone know if this last or stays? Please any input will help ease our minds. We feel like we have found a good combination of meds but worry about nightmares. SPL[/quote]
