8 year old had a lot of temper tantrums that would rage and last hours. This has definitely made them disappear and when I don't give it to her for one day she goes back to raging temper tantrums. I believe that it has helped. We tried other drugs that are stimulant driven and they did not work. This has been the only one that has worked. Her side effect is sleepiness at 5pm and sometimes ...

I have a 4 year-old that has OSA and due to that ADHD extreme impulsive behavior in addition to some sensory issues. He hardly ever slept more than 6 hours and those were restless and wakeful. His pulmonary (sleep medicine) Dr prescribed Tenex 1/2 tab at night and from the very first pill he slept a full 12 hours and woke up a brand new kid! I'd read how the drug impacted some children so I was SCARED but it has been nothing but bliss from the very first tablet. He's more agreeable. Listens well. Can sit with a task for more than two minutes. He's still has his sense of humor and still protests like a normal 4 year old. The deliberate defiance and rage is gone. Also, he can walk! Who knew? He had two speeds. Standing still and running. Best decision I made for us. After three years of this nightmare. I finally feel like we've got our life back.

I have a 5 yr old son who was dx'd w/ autism, ADHD and ODD (along w/ expressive, receptive language disorder). He has tried Focalin XR and that made his symptoms worse. He's been on Tenex 0.5mg in morning and night and it really seems to be helping. Before this med we were getting reports of hitting at school daily, and since he started this med, he hasn't hit anyone! Also we haven ... Show Full Comment

My only wish is that it was longer lasting. By dinner, he is wound up, running and somewhat violent again.

My 6 yr old son has been on this medication for just over a year. He takes this twice a day in conjunction with Strattera. We have seen a huge difference in his attitude, behavior and outbursts. Def worth trying esp if stimulants have failed as they did with our son.
