[QUOTE="IT1967, post: 589781, member: 15615"] Hi there. My son has ADHD, ODD and Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD). He is on 3 mg. Intuniv (along with-other medications). He's 8 y.o. He started on the Intuniv last year. My understanding from our friend who's a psychiatrist as well as our own psychiatrist is that Intuniv is one of the "cleanest" in terms of side effects, etc... I question them upping your son to 3mg. so quickly. Our therapist did tell us that 3 mg. is typically the right dosage level for effectiveness. But it makes you VERY tired. This side effect went away very quickly for us (in a matter of weeks), but each time we increased the dose, the sleepiness recurred until he got used to it. We increased to 3 mg over many many weeks, maybe a couple months, even. I'd be hesitant to go up to 3mg. in 7 days. You might want to talk to your pharmacist about that. I hope that this medication helps your son. [/QUOTE]
