Re: Scared to take Medicine

Larynxa:

Intuniv HAS been approved for high blood pressure in adults and HAS been approved for ADHD in children up to age 17. It was a suggestion to tonyminch since it would already help his blood pressure and just might help the ADHD (two birds with one stone so-to-speak) I take Intuniv because I can take NOTHING else and was suggested by one of the best ADHD doctors in the country. I LOVED the effect of Adderall XR. It was like another person said: a light bulb was turned on and I could see for the first time, but it put holes in my bladder. A worse side effect than the small bothersome side effects of Intuniv so far. I’m tired of my fuzzy, forgetful brain. I’m willing to try it at this point. I’ve tried everything else. I continue therapy and interventions. The side effects of the ADHD are more bothersome than the side effects of Intuniv.

I’ve been on it for about 3 weeks and I’m starting to see a difference. Like I said before, it takes longer but I’ve suffered from ADHD for 55 years, what’s another few weeks?

I very much appreciate what you have said. EVERYTHING comes with risks. A lot of people “treat” ADHD with coffee, a perfectly approved beverage around the world, but it can cause acid refux, stomach ulcers or other side effects.
