[QUOTE="jcox, post: 322276, member: 6583"] I had a long talk with my son E's psychiatrist back in the summer because the school was pushing for him to get on some medications for his "ADHD symptoms". After she thought about it for a while she decided that the only two medications she would even consider for him would be Tenex or Straterra because of his mix of diagnoses including BiPolar (BP) and ADHD. She said that stimulants can have terrible effects on a child with BiPolar (BP) and should be used with extreme caution. She decided that Tenex was the best bet for my son because Tenex works on anxiety too, which was a major issue with my son. The Tenex has worked amazingly well with him increasing his attention span and focus, decreasing his anxiety, distractibility and hyperactivity. [/QUOTE]
