First off, I am in no way looking for information about possibility of any recreational purpose for this drug...
I know that Guanfacine is commonly prescribed for high blood pressure, but a family member of mine recently went on her monthly checkup to her doctor (she has bipolar, adhd, manic depressive, ect ect) and he prescribed her Guanfacine tab 1 mg for her adhd.
My mother yesterday asked me what exactly the pills were and I did a search online and could only find information on how they reduce blood pressure, and no other purpose. So I had my mother call over to the pharmacy the prescription was filled from and ask them if maybe they gave her the wrong medication (hey it happens)! They told her that when Guanfacine first came out was primarily used only for blood pressure, but they now fine that it helps with adhd. And that is all they would pretty much say.
So now my question is: What if anything does anyone know about this medication? I would greatly appreciate any and all information you provide,
Thanks
