Hello everyone, my son’s doctor just added guanfacine hcl 3mg to his morning drug for hyperactivity and I’m experiencing a change in him. He consistently have accident at school & at his ABA therapy center which doesn’t happens at home. He knows when to use bathroom but this new attitude outside home is becoming very unbearable. Please does anyone have experience with this drug and what is the side effect? Thanks

My son is 18 and has been on Gufacine for a little over 4 years and I have never experienced any side effects.
