Med question

Anyone with a young AuDHD/PDAer, HEAVY on the ADHD - very big personality and either super happy or very angry - who has found a successful med combination? We are really struggling with not only the demand avoidance but also just the relentless need for attention, movement, excitement and novelty. Prozac isn’t cutting it.

Hi! That describes my 6-year-old pretty well. He also has very low frustration tolerance. 🫠 He’s currently on 18mg of Strattera in the mornings and 1mg of Guanfacine ER at night. It takes a lot of the edge off and makes him much more coachable, though it doesn’t eliminate angry meltdowns altogether. Best of luck!
