"at 7 yrs old my son was diagnosed with adhd. we tried a few medications like concerta &amp; vyvanse. both were terrible &amp; either made him a zombie or completely took his appetite away. i discussed with his doctor my concerns about his lack of weight gain &amp; she suggested intuniv. we started at 1mg, increased to 2mg &amp; finally settled on 3 mg. he&#039;s done wonderful with this dose for almost 2 &amp; 1/2 years. since last christmas things have taken a downfall &amp; so now we&#039;re looking at increasing to 4mg. it makes me nervous.  i just hope i&#039;m making the right decision for him."
