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.
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.
