I’ve been taking Guanfacine ER for 3 months, 2mg in for the last 6 weeks. 2mg caused too many negative side effects (mainly I never felt tired) and so I went back down to 1mg.

I’m lucky in that the side effects coming on were very mild for me (slight fatigue, occasional dizziness), with each dose it resolved in less than 2 weeks.

Only after 4 weeks on 2mg did more negative side effects begin to show (low mood, apathy, lack of sleep).

Now I’ve gone back to 1mg I noticed my RSD is back with a vergence. I hate RSD and it feels so crippling.

The positives are sleep feels more attainable and my sex drive seems better.

No change in focus (it was never adequately controlled anyway).
