[QUOTE="jal, post: 452470, member: 3477"] I would think your dr is taking a safe and responsible approach to treating ADHD. Too see if your difficult child responds to a medication that's not so hard on the body. in my humble opinion this is safer than just throwing stims at a child. My difficult child has trialed EVERY stimulant under the sun with not one positive outcome. The only success we are having now is using Intuniv, which is guanfacine. It is a blood pressure medication. The doctor is monitoring his blood pressure and it has been fine. He has been on it for around 6 months and is a 3mg 1xday. It's easier on the system than stimulants and also it's been so successful for him we were able to remove Seroquel in May, which is a more worrisome medication. [/QUOTE]
