An adolescent boy with kleptomania and ADHD treated with methylphenidate and guanfacine: A case report

A 16-year-old boy with both ADHD and kleptomania (impulse to steal unneeded items) was treated with methylphenidate (OROS formulation), which improved both ADHD symptoms and stealing behavior. Adding guanfacine in the evening addressed residual symptoms during times when methylphenidate levels dropped, suggesting potential efficacy of this combination in managing both conditions.
