"my 9 year old son has been taking intuniv for about a year now and has greatly improved his behavior, mood, impulse control and more. both myself and his dad suffer from adhd as well but need adderall to manage. i was so happy to see a non-stimulant medicine work so well. the only problem we&#039;ve had is excessive weight gain (excess of 30 lbs in 1 year). to the point its very worrisome. appointment is set to switch to something new."
