[QUOTE="busywend, post: 24826, member: 391"] Welcome! And congrats on being so well informed and successful in your fight to help difficult child! You are on a great path! I have had my difficult child on Tenex for Tics. It is for high blood pressure, but given in much different doses for tics. I have not heard of it for ADHD. However, I DID see a BIG improvement in my difficult children mood while on it. I only gave it at night - it made her very sleepy - which counteracted the Adderall keeping her up all night! [img]:laugh:[/img] Here is the thing: since it is a Blood pressure medication it must be administered very consistently. No skipping nights or giving 4 hours later (it helps when it is given at night). My difficult child did have swings in her BiPolar (BP) that started her getting dizzy - come to find out she was not taking her medication every night (live with dad at the time, so I had no control over this). So, I pulled the medication from the mix as I could not be sure it would be a benefit in the long run if it messed with her medical health. I have actually wished for tics again for my difficult child just to ger her back on that medication because her mood just improved soooo much while on it. How terrible is that!?!?!? [/QUOTE]
