"i am a 24 year old male with adhd, high functioning add as well as impulse control issues. i&#039;ve only been on this medication for a few weeks now, but i can feel a strong difference in my ability to make decisions and keep a steady train of focus in everyday tasks. i am noticing however, from these other experiences, that guanfacine er is not a medication for young children. 
i take 1mg every morning when i wake up. makes me a tad tired for the first hour or so, but after that, if i make my mind up to do something, i stick with it. i don&#039;t feel like i have no control over myself anymore. 

i highly recommend this more to adults 20-30. seems to be more effective in that age range. 
but then again, i&#039;m not a doctor. "
