[QUOTE="justour2boys, post: 567693, member: 6235"] My youngest is using Intuniv with some success. He puts the H in ADHD, so he is on Concerta during the day (30 minutes before breakfast, currently 6:30 am). We give the Intuniv dose at 4:00 pm as it really helps with the rebound from stims, and "winding down" in the evenings. I have found it has been only a small help with impulsiveness... just some. We did start out with the generic twice-a-day version of guanfacine first to trial the medication. We started with 1 mg once a day, then 1 mg twice a day, then 1 mg in morning and added 2 mg in evening. Each dosage change we tried for 2 weeks. We ended up with Intuniv 2 mg... but I'm beginning to think we need to move to 3 mg. We did find "sleepiness" as a side effect, but in our case it was a positive side effect! [/QUOTE]
