Guest guest Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 My son was given Intuniv as well ... He is newly diagnosed with adhd & aspergers and is 8 years old.We tried Vyvanse -- 3 days 1/2 dose of 20mg and 3 days full dose -- however, my son had breathing issues on it so we stopped. This is the next med that the doc offered.I'm not sure whether to start him on it ... Before I saw this particular doctor - I had made an appointment with a psychiatrist but he didn't have an open slot for several weeks and I was anxious to try something so I saw a dev. & behavioral ped. She said she has lots of experience with adhd ... Now I don't know whether to cancel the psychiatrist's appointment or wait to start the new med until I see the psychiatrist and see what he has to say first. I know it can take 2 weeks for these meds to kick in and since the holiday break in school is coming up anyway -- what to do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
