I have been reading the forum here and there just lurking. I have finally decided to join. I have a 5 year old Son. because of my insurance the doctors would not see him to diagnose him until he was 5. Well he finally started the process in June. In July he was diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder. his doctor put him on rispedone to help with sleep. In the mean time he started kindergarten in August. He did well, but had a few angry outbursts. He was supposed to see his doctor again in sept. The doctor passed away. I got him in to see a new Dr. who diagnosed him with odd, took him off the medications and gave him clonidine to sleep. He said it's my parenting that's the problem and when I get parenting therapy he will be better in school. Well since then, my son became violent in school. Throwing chairs, hitting the teacher and other kids, destroying the classroom. They suspended him 2 weeks ago. The Dr finally tried tenex. The first day he did well at school, the second day he kicked a student and tried to bite the teacher. I had to pick him up from school. I asked him why he behaved that way, and he told me that he was tired. I have read that the first few weeks on tenex, the kids are usually tired. so guys does it get better? I can't keep leaving work for him. I am a single parent. I will lose my job.
