[QUOTE="Chaosuncontained, post: 471698, member: 11016"] Amy, First of all, welcome. My son does not have Aspergers--well, I should say he hasn't been diagnosis. LOL But he does take Intuniv. For his ADHD. He doesn't take a stimulant with it. I have not noticed any glaring side effects. But I also haven't seen any major improvement. Of course we are on several medications and have made several recent changes also. What has seemed to help Carson's anxiety, actually, was the anti depressant... or it helped his depression enough to give him self esteem enough to push through some of his anxiety. Like, he isn't hiding under his desk any more, or chewing his shirt or running into the parking lot. He still has anxiety. He has wet his pants at school 4 times since school started. He NEVER has accidents at home. Carson's doctor really didn't want to use Prozac or a medicine like it. They are all so habit forming. And Carson has been on medicine in the past that can give him a "zombie effect". So we decided not for us right now. This medicine business is tricky. And I hate that is is so trial and error. Good luck to you. It's late here but there will be some wonderful women give you advice. You are in a place of comfort and support. [/QUOTE]
