T-Rex:
I am trying it right now as I cannot take Adderall XR anymore due to a side effect. Don’t get me wrong, it was great meds and I’d continue if it weren’t for the pesky bladder problem I developed because I didn’t take it right. Didn’t drink enough water and took on an empty stomach too many times. (Duh!)
I’ve been on the Intuniv for about 2 weeks now. Only 1mg. It works a lot slower than stimulants. I can get back to you after a few more weeks but I’ve already gone from “I don’t want to do anything” to “Maybe I’ll do one load of laundry”… I’ll be bumping up the dose from 1mg to 2mg in a couple of weeks. The only side effect I experienced was a little sleepiness. My blood pressure is fine. I work in a school and so get it checked by the school nurse three days a week. You could also go to a CVS or other drug store and get it checked.
It was recommended to me by Dr. Patricia Quinn from Washington, DC an expert in ADHD; specialized in kids and women, but really knows her ADHD stuff!
