Intuniv for ADHD: A New Non-stimulant Medication

If you think about the profusion of problems so many face daily with ADHD stimulant meds, then you will find some reassurance in Intuniv. ADHD meds are improving everyday, and while Intuniv is not a panacea, not a solution for every person challenged with stimulants, it's a significant step forward for many reasons. Remember: With ADHD there are often many more variables at play than appreciated, - many more variables than the average consumer or physician considers. The good news is: with some basic insights found in this lens you are more likely to have a beneficial outcome. Many, many readers have commented in abundant detail on my Intuniv posts to share a great deal about themselves and their families, and I do respond to every comment. Please take a moment to pop over to review these linked CorePsych Blog posts in detail. Remember this point: those that write in comments and questions to CorePsych Blog are under some pressure to find an answer when they are struggling with problems that don't make sense. These posts, when compared to my regular office practice absolutely don't reflect the more positive response to Intuniv in the office. They are included here as the benefits and challenges do become somewhat typical as you read through the admonitions and recommendations - and you will see that these answers often help resolve varieties of med consternation - including questions on Intuniv, Vyvanse, Adderall, Concerta and combinations of with antidepressants. Science matters.
