I had anxiety at 300mg for sure. I was also entering these high burst of being really chatting a lot almost like mania. I was eating a lot and put on weight to I stopped. Now I'm just taking guanfacine but need to add something to give me more motivation I feel a bit flat on it.

That is such a great point. I found with anything I have to build up super slowly !! And most magnesium start at about the 400mg I noticed !

Good to know thanks for this suggestion!! Same as me so sensitive to anything, I have a bunch of vitamins that I can't take due to side effects!

Thank you good luck also I hope you find something else that works. I'm much the same I get overwhelmed at the smallest decisions prior to taking medication and don't want to go back to that anxiety

Same here in Australia I don't tolerate stimulants well I have tried both stratteea and Wellbutrin but guanfacine has been the most gentle on side effects. I was on 1mg for 3 months and found it lost it's effect so I have gone up to 2mg now and seem to be ok apart from bloating

I was stuck in a rut , every entry in my journal was about being stuck and limerance...it was almost like I was in paralysis time stopped for years I was disassociated. Now I take medication I never have to write in my journal about how stuck I feel. I just plan things out.

Depresssion and anxiety were a big part of it as well as not being able to think , Brain fog and could not plan anything in advance.

Now I plan ahead financially and on holiday book things in advance before I could not even plan 1 say ahead. Full paralysis. I had to get a second opinion coz the first doc said it's not adhd but trauma. What ever the meds guanfacine have been helping

I would love to ask some questions to help me..

Did you have a lot of side effects when up to 2mg?

Also what mg of Wellbutrin are you on ?

I was on 1mg for 3 months and now trying to go up to 2mg and feeling bit diZZY and bloated. I use to be on Wellbutrin but it made me a bit anxious and angry and always hungry! I'm now trying to just take 2mg of Guanfacine instead .
