I think I forgot to take my guanfacine last night…
I was on guanafacine forever, and it never helped. Does it do anything for you?
I don’t think so. I tried atomoxetine first and it also didn’t help so far, at 25, 40, or 80mg. At least the guanfacine is not giving me any noticeable side effects. The atomoxetine caused me to exhibit more hyperactive symptoms (I’m Primary inattentive) for the first two days but then went away; I did feel cold in the afternoons and I also developed some mild erectile dysfunction ( went away when I stopped taking it). I think next stop will be a stimulant, not sure what I’ll start with. I’ll have to stop taking edibles because they’ll need me to take a drug test first before I get a stimulant rx
