What Are The Side Effects Of Using Guanfacine For ADHD?

I am a mental health clinician and I have a child of 6 yrs. taking guanfacine for ADHD. She is having major temper outbursts on this medication. What are the rare side effects of this medication on children? I have no money to pay for this question as I am a therapist and I am searching on behalf of the concern for this child.
