  1. I read that Adhansia was recently discontinued yet it is here on ADDitude’s list of FDA approved medications. Anyone know if this is actually off the market?

  3. Your question might be best asked in the forums, you’ll probably get a better response there.

    My question is, how expensive is this new formulation?

  4. My 6 year led grand sone has been taking guanfacine for a month and at first he was over sleepy, but after 7-10 days he was better He does have nightmares that spiders are getting him it has happen a few times and is paranoid he takes 1/2 in the morning and 1/2 in the afternoon a 1mg a day. He is more manageable and is able to stay still for a ling period of time. Today we had a luncheon and he had orange juice and waffles with syrup and layer in cake and afterwords he has like a zombie had not seen that before on him, I don’t usually give him sugar and am very cautious on what he eats, but since we were out he got to have all the junk food and he felt asleep for almost 3 hours. That was very strange to see and I really think is a reaction to the medication, anyone else experience anything like that? Please share. Thank you!!
