tenex

This is directed to those moms who have some experience with protocols both medicinally and other. Every time someone posts about a medication you hear tons of horror stories about bad experiences, few good ones really. I sure know what *hasn't* worked for many. Realizing that everyone's...

difficult child's psychiatrist is wanting to try another d**n medication. psychiatrist absolutely believes that difficult child is bipolar and ADHD. Now I had a neuropsychologist done at an early age and it agreed with a mood disorder. Even though it was independent, I don't think it was as thorough and again he was young. He saw a pediatrician...

I generally don't talk about the medications I try because there are always tons of bad experiences out there and I want to keep an open mind about our trial. So we are trying zoloft to see if it won't take the edge off of the anxiety and ocdness. It's been about 4 weeks now. I have decided today...

Well, we're still seeing a steady increase in anger, irritability, outbursts, etc. (in fact, his outbursts have gone from a rare occurance to several times a day now), so thank goodness our psychiatrist appointment is tomorrow. I'm guessing the psychiatrist is going to do a medication change- I can't imagine he'll see this...

I know some of you with difficult child's with extreme anxiety and a tendency to get physical have emergency prn's. We normally use the clonodine or tenex that *usually* knocks our difficult child out, but it doesn't always work. I am looking at taking difficult child on a trip with me (to see the baby). He is doing really...

Wee difficult child has never slept on a "schedule". Ever. As a tiny baby, he ate and slept on his terms, despite our best efforts to normalize it. The university research team that is working with us is formalizing his bedtime and morning routines to "help with his sleep patterns". We have charts on...

So is tenex a quick acting medication? If not how long to see results? Just curious.

I have a son who is 6 yrs, and he has been diagnosed with a Tic Disorder. The last month or so he has become very vocal, and hitting and ,I hear a lot, I hate you. I feel like I don't know what to do anymore. Nothing seems to help and he is addicted to video games, and the computer. I just...

My son who is 10 and has been hospitalized twice in the last 6 months for mental health reasons. The Dr.s diagnosed his with ADHD, ODD, SI. He is physically violent when he gets angry. He sometimes doesn't even remember going into these "rages" that sometimes will go on for hours. After his...

My son is 4 (getting close to 5 now) and has ADHD. In July, we tried a Daytrana 10mg patch for 10 days. He did great for the first 7 days... although he wasn't sleeping well and would only eat a few bites for lunch. The problem is that he started to have a terrible crash about an hour after...

Question. How far have you all gone to get the behaviors that you need? I need him to stop hitting me and kicking me. His most natural response to most requests or comments that I have is to come to me and hit me or act like he is about to. He has a psychiatrist, a counselor, medications., been on...

Our daughter was recently diagnosed with ODD. She mainly displays the behavior at home and with the people who love her most – myself, my husband and my mother (she says she doesn’t misbehave at school because she doesn’t want to embarrass herself). However lately, it seems to be trickling into...

I have posted here before under help my 3 year old and then my 4 year old. We have been through so much since the last time I visited this site. We have since found out that he is borderline mentally retarded with an IQ of 70, Bipolar, reactive attachment disorder, sensory, visual and auditory...

This is my first post here. I found you guys last night while doing a "Google" search for children with developmental delays. I have felt very isolated because of my sons issues, so it was comforting to see that I really am not all alone. I am not really sure what I am looking for in posting...

I feel as if we are finally making progress. difficult child was given another computer test for ADHD and this time he failed miserably. He is definitely ADHD like we thought. Shame on his former therapist for saying it was "all in his head" and if he really WANTED to he could focus just fine. Luckily...

Little Bear is being referred to a great children's hospital in our state and we are now waiting for his appointment to their psychiatry clinic. It takes 6-8 weeks after referral to be called for an appointment. so I am trying to get all my question's together now. We have tried all kinds of medications and...

Very first post on here and I'm needing some advice. I know that no one can tell me if Intuniv is the 'right' choice for my son. He has ADHD and is extremely hyperactive and has literally NO impulse control. He tasted tea tree oil once and then decided to drink a cap full of it right after...

My son is now 8, soon to be 9 in June he was diagnosed with adhd last year, his grade have been great befor starting medications. his teacher was tired of reiterating to him what to do next, also he was very hyper at home. So we tried several medications. until we stopped at Ritalin. He has had motor tics in the...

So, I am one of those parents who falls into the extremely hesitant category when it comes to medication. We do fine at home with minimal challenges since The Boy is our only child. His school behavior is still ridiculous. I'm at the point where I feel badly that his aide and teacher have to...

We will soon have a decision to make and begin our journey to the place so many of you have been...filled with hope that our almost-6-yr-old son will have one tool to improve his early kindergarten "bully" label. For my aggressive, defiant, grouchy, mean, physical, friendless and fit-throwing...
