"our son has been on intuniv for 3 yrs.  we started in k when he was diagnosed with adhd he is very impulsive, not easily compliant, underlying anexity. the behavioral issues in school, we began at 1mg.  big note here, i have read reviews, i&#039;m surprised a dr. prescribes this med to a patient at a higher dosage! always start at 1mg &amp; increase as time goes on, if needed.  my son was on 1mg for a yr, we increased to 2mg in october.  by that summer, i reduced to 1mg.  having to raise it again one mth into school.  we were able to get thru that school year on 2 mg.  now, year 3 &amp; we increased to 3mg 3 days ago. anyone have experience with 3mg with their 8 yr old?  he is super sleepy as he adjusts and irritable. naps, wakes up, seems happy again."
