Has anyone had success with Intuniv (guanfacine ER) 3mg Tablets for ADHD? I'm curious about its effectiveness and side effects.
I've recently been prescribed Intuniv (guanfacine ER) 3mg tablets for my ADHD. I'm looking for some firsthand accounts from others who have used this medication. I'm interested in hearing about how it has helped with focus, attention, and impulse control, as well as any side effects you might have experienced. I've read about potential side effects like dizziness, drowsiness, and even more serious ones, so I'm a bit anxious. Has anyone found it to be effective? What about the side effects—how bad are they, and do they go away with time? I'm curious to know if anyone has switched to Intuniv from another ADHD medication and how that transition went. Any advice or encouragement would be greatly appreciated!

I'm curious about how it affects appetite. I was eating all the time on Concerta… I don't want to gain 30 lbs this time around.
I’ve had a few issues with constipation, but overall, it’s been worth it to have my focus back. I just make sure to stay hydrated and eat a lot of fiber.
I've been on Intuniv for a while now. The first month was rough with all the sleepiness but now I’m fine. I think it’s worth it but I do have to dig deeper for focus. I wish I had a 4mg pill to take. It's just not enough with the 3mg but I guess I should stick with what I have?
I’ve had some success with it, but I couldn't let go of the fact that it may cause trouble with sex. I’m too young for that kind of issue when I find the right person. No thanks.
I think it was a bad idea to start with Intuniv for me. I had the dizziness and then the doc upped the dose. I felt awful! Now I’m back on Adderall. I think taking this stuff was a mistake
Have you considered taking it at night? That way, if the drowsiness is an issue, you’ll sleep through it.
