My daughter has started 1mg for two weeks now. This is the second night her eyes are constantly twitching, she's complaining of burning and she's becoming paranoid!! She's arguing with me that someone at the after school program was coming after her. This is supposed to HELP ADHD kids???

MY 5 year old was talking Intuniv for a month that really didn't work so her doc put her on Tenex...1/2 tab in the morning and 1 mg at night. She is better with her rages and her ADHD and ODD but she still isn't sleeping at night. She just started this med this week so I'll wait longer to see how she does.

Tenex started at age 3, now turned 4. In Use several mos. stated 1/4 mg increase to 1 1/2 mg daily for ADHD and anger. Grandson no improvement. Evolved into explosive personality (very loving before). Takes toys,other objects & throws to hurt other family members. Knocks lamps, furniture, anything off tables and into floor. Has to be contained by physically holding him while he screams non-stop, hits you in face, kicks, very agressive. Hold by force till he can calm down. We continue to tell phychiatrist he's no better is getting worse. He now is afraid someone will break in house. He has no appetite, can't sleep, afraid he is going to hurt someone. I am under treatment. Stitches in one leg & surgery on other. One area he is hitting or kicking the other leg which has open wound he sneaks up on my and throws heavy objects at wound. He is showing serious signs of confusion but now talks a lot of violence. Only one doctor is area will treat a child this young. Am desparate to find a second opinion someplace even another state. He only will drink milk or juice. We have very hard time getting him to eat. Struggling to keep him from losing weight. I would NEVER put a child on this drug ever again. He's in pre-kindergarten and am holding breathe he is not going to be thrown out. He is very intelligent, articulate but the articulate is regressing and he's now speaking in "foreign" tongue. You look into his little eyes and he appears so lost. Be careful on use, at first we thought he was going to do well. We had a week where he was out of meds and we couldn't get through to the pychiatrist. His personally changed and he was pleasant...back on meds he's totally out of control. He loves to build (blocks) is very smart but if they fall or break apart he becomes wild. He attacks you, knocks over furniture, throws everything insight. Suggestions anybody? Our family needs help!

My son will be 5yrs old in 2 months. His Dr has prescribed Tenex and told me to give him 1/4 a tablet to start out. Daycare is really pushing the meds on me because my son has to be re-directed constantly and seems to have issues acting on impulse. I have read reviews about this drug and honestly they are about 50/50. Can anyone tell me if this helps with listening and following directions as well ... Show Full Comment

Daycare is really pushing the meds on me because my son has to be re-directed constantly and seems to have issues acting on impulse. I have read reviews about this drug and honestly they are about 50/50. Can anyone tell me if this helps with listening and following directions as well as impulse control for 5yr olds? I am torn, I dont want to give my son meds, but I want him to be happy and do good in school and daycare as well as home. PLEASE HELP!!!
