Guanfacine

Guanfacine is a "symphatholitic, selective receptor agonist."  Should you be interested to read more about it in friendly prose click on the link above. In short it, "may treat ADHD by affecting the part of the brain that controls attention and impulsivity." Not exactly words of confidence but I'm willing to try it. 

I have a doctor's appointment on Thursday this week where I will discuss this drug option with her.  I'm not so much worried about whether or not I will get a prescription but more as to whether I will be able to afford the drug.   I have my coupons and a drug discount card.  We'll see what happens.  I'm very determined to try different drugs to hep find focus. 

I remain aware that trying drugs is trial and error.  This search could take months and months.  Perhaps the right drug is out there for me.  Perhaps it doesn't exist.  Perhaps my miracle pill does.  

I remain cautiously optimistic.
