[QUOTE="Ash, post: 398555"] So my son has been on Guanfacine for a month and while it has greatly helped his ODD/ADD he has started having panic attacks. I have panic disorder so I know this is genetic but the Guanfacine may be making it worse. Doctor suggested we switch to Tofranil 10mg but to take both Tofranil and Guanfacine for 2 weeks then stop the Guanfacine. Im apprehensive, we have had such a hard time with medications and I was SO against them to begin with. He had a horrible reaction to the Intuniv 3mg and had to go to the er due to Hallucinations. He still says he sometimes sees things and is now on 1mg of Guanfancine ( insurance wouldnt cover Intuniv anymore ) Can anyone give me their opinion and personal experience with Tofranil in treating an ODD child with ADD and Anxiety. I appreciate it. [/QUOTE]
