Summary
Had brain fog that usually hit around midday, with mornings and nights feeling better. Started immediate-release guanfacine (TENEX) at 1 mg at night; on the third day they felt sluggish and foggy, and the next day their brain fog was nearly 10 times worse, lasting all day. They were unsure whether to keep taking it.
