[quote=Anonymous]Daughter is 12. We started with Intuniv 1mg at nights. First 2 weeks were terrible, she was exhausted and falling asleep in the car on the way home, very lethargic, etc. after the initial 2 weeks she was fine. She is combined type and tends to be higher energy at night. Used to have trouble getting to sleep but now goes to sleep quickly at the regular bed time. Takes it in conjunction with Vyvanse and seems to counterbalance the stimulant. I notice 1) improved sleep 2) more calm 3) appetite is much better. All. These things to me are an amazing complement to the awful side effects of stimulants. Since adding Intuniv, she had gained weight, grown and it seems to help the Vyvanse. Her doctor said to only take it at night. She's still on 1mg though she is skinny and smaller than some kids her age (25th percentile). Has been a great addition once we got over the initial hump.
