Is guanfacine (intuniv) effective for adult females with adhd?
6 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Worth to try: It is a safe medication that may help adult adhd especially if the hyperactivity component is present. The prescription dosage needs to be gradually titrated with the blood pressure checked to avoid hypotension. Best wishes!

It depends: Different ADHD medications work well for different people. I would recommend consulting a physician familiar with ADHD medication to help find the best medication for an individual.
