Anyone out there on Guanfacine?

Have you been able to resolve your insomnia from guanfacine? I have the same issue; insomnia kicks in after 3 hours of sleep every night- and being a lifelong narcoleptic, that says A LOT. As miserable and unhealthy as insomnia is, I don’t want to stop taking guanfacine because it has been a miracle drug, zapping my brain fog, depression, anxiety, AND hypertension in one fell swoop. . I have been doing acupuncture twice weekly and that has helped immensely, but it is getting expensive, time-consuming, and isn’t exactly fun. Any insight?

Are you taking the extended release form of guanfacine? That’s the only thing I can think of because I read that it’s less likely to cause side effects.

I’ve considered trying it if I can persuade my doctor to prescribe it, but I’m worried about the side effects. I appreciate you sharing your experience though I’m sorry you’re experiencing the insomnia!
