My son started taking Intuniv 1 mg 12 days ago. We haven't noticed any day time drowsiness. He falls asleep much easier at bedtime too.
The problem is he wakes up a couple hours too early in the morning and he has been waking up in the middle of the night too. He has also been having bad dreams, but he doesn't remember them.
We are supposed to increase to 2 mg this Wed. I am concerned it will make it worse. He is not getting enough sleep - and lack of sleep in the past has made his behavior worse.
I am not sure yet if we are seeing any benefits of the medication, but I didn't really think we would at 1 mg.
Has anyone had similar experiences with their kids while taking Intuniv? How long did the insomnia last? Did increasing the dose make it worse? How about bad dreams? Will those and the insomnia go away?
Thanks!
