[QUOTE="Ash, post: 393628"] Yes I stopped 3mg immediately after just 2 days. I told him we would go down to 1 pill not 2 like the starter pack said. He has been back to 2mg now for 2 days he said it is getting a bit better. I gave him some benadryl tonight to help with a runny nose and sneezing and he is fast asleep. I hope he sleeps tonight. He was so cuddly tonight and loving, this is a side of him I have never ever seen. If 2mg is still causing the issues we will go back to 1mg. The medication has really helped him in school and at home with his behaviour and I sure hope that we can get these issues worked out. I know many of you don't believe in treating ODD with Intuniv or any other medication, but it really has made a tremendous difference in my sons behaviour in school. This is a boy that had never seen a green ( good day ) and has had almost 3 full weeks of them since starting this medicine. I will not use him as a lab rat and jump from medication to medication. If this doesn't work even at 1mg we will do some in depth testing. I have been reading online that Intuniv has cases of hallucinations and bed wetting. He wet the bed both nights on 3mg. Poor baby, I feel like such an ass for upping the dosage. I knew I should have just left it alone at 1 or 2 mg. It was working he was doing great. I will follow my gut and right now my gut says 1mg. We have to wean down to that though over a week, so its not a sudden thing I can do. I still hope some other moms or dads out there have had this issue as well it would be nice to know that im not the only one. [/QUOTE]
