Hi,
I am new to posting and appreciate any support. My 9 yo son is taking medicine to treat ADHD for the first time. He has always had a very pleasant, positive attitude and gotten along well with his brothers. However since he has been taking intuniv (now on 2mg at day 17) his has 1-2 instances a day where he is irritable, angry and negative. Things that wouldn't phase him in the past - he makes a big deal about. I am just curious if anyone else experienced this initially and if it got better as your child adjusted to the medicine? His teacher reports that he is pleasant, less impulsive, less hyper and more focused at school; and he is not having these issues at school - only with me, my husband and his brother(s).
Thank you!
Lori
