Intuniv in impulsive aggression

We just started our 8-year-old son on Intuniv a week ago. He has impulsive aggression whenever he gets frustrated, which is often and because of anything.He is a great student without any problems there. He loses it at home and kicks, punches, bites and breaks things. He also has hyperactive issues that do not cause problems. AFter trying to help him by changing the diet, homeopathy and sessions with a psychologist and no real improvement we got him on Intuniv last week (1mg). The results are not so good. Approx 5 hrs after his first dose he got extremely aggressive, the worst episode in weeks. We switched to giving him Intuniv at night. He was sleepy for two days, very aggressive verbally, not physically. The tiredness is gone now, but...he is still verbally aggressive, easily frustrated, wakes up at night and has lost all his quirkyness. It is showing up around dinnertime when one dose stops working and the other not yet. He is not happy with his behaviour, but cannot help it. We had hoped that Intunivmight help him and thus the whole family. Obviously this is not the right medicationfor him.

My 8yr old daughter has never been able to tolerate stimulants.L

We started her on Intuniv about a week ago and I must say, the results are even better. The extended release seems to work even better than the twice a day version. I'm thrilled. She is happy and so are we.

Intuniv

I started my 7 year old son on Intuniv almost 1 week ago. He seems even more irritable than before which is kind of hard to imagine. I'm a new member to ADDITUDE and have found it encouraging to read your posts, everyone. This is his first medication. His doctor chose this to help with impulsivity before trying stimulants.

facial tics

dana said: hi,

we are in our 4th week of intuniv and so far it looks good. my son has been on either adderallXR or daytrana for 5 years (he's 11) and during that time has never eaten lunch and needs melatonin to sleep. (adderall was a nightmare, daytrana better) And we had problems with facial ticks, so we couldn't use a lot of the stimulants. It seemed they worked well for the hyper/impulsive but not the attentional issues.

so far on intuniv he has a more normal eating pattern and has stopped using melatonin. we are doing now testing 4 mg of the intuniv and may have to back down to 3 because of sedation but we'll give it a few more days. He's not been on stimulants since about day 5 of the 1 mg test and the fact that he functions fine in school is amazing. He sat down the other day and worked for 45 minutes straight on a geography map he was making for school, which was shocking itself.

so....I'm tentatively optimistic that this may be a better med for us.

facial tics

My 9yr old daughter recently started having facial tics. She was on Daytrana. I stopped the Daytrana about a month ago and the facial tics have not gone away. We recently started Intuniv and it makes her so tired. My questions? Did anyone's child have facial tics that went aways after you stopped the Stimulant and how long did it take for the tics to go away? Is it better to give Intuniv in the morning or night? When I give it to her at night she is almost asleep by 4:00. When I give it to her in the morning I feel like it is not as helpful during the day. How long before the tiredness goes away?

Thanks
