If this means I don't have to take Methylphenidate to function 100% all the time and as a result feel tremendously anxious 100% all the time. SIGN ME UP.
Adding guanfacine (Intuniv) to my methylphenidate took the weird anxious-angry edge off. Would be nice to not have to take one med to fix the side effects of the other, though.
Interesting, will check it out. Cheers!
My son takes the methylphenidate / guanfacine combo as well and it’s been a game changer.
Any other benefits?
It’s also a blood pressure med, so I went from borderline prehypertensive to perfect 105/70. You can’t go on and off it at will though, since you’ll get rebound high BP if you don’t taper.
FWIW, I was on MP for years and never really liked it. Tried all possible dosages and delivery methods. I switched to lisdexamfetamine a couple of years ago and never looked back. 0 side effects apart from my mouth.
