[QUOTE="justour2boys, post: 562829, member: 6235"] Bunny... something to think about... since Intuniv is a name-brand drug, it comes with a high price tag. So if you are going to trial the drug, I would ask your doctor about using the twice-a-day generic version Guanfacine (brand name Tenex). Intuniv is the once-a-day (extended) version of Guanfacine. Also, since this is a drug for blood pressure, my difficult child's doctor had me take his BiPolar (BP) for a week to see how he adjusted. Also, we used Guanfacine with my oldest difficult child, but only in the afternoon to help with rebound from stims. In all honesty, it only really helps my youngest difficult child with rebound from stims... we still have impulse issues in the evening off stims. [/QUOTE]
