[QUOTE="firehorsewoman, post: 550785"] Welcome. I medicated reluctantly at first. My difficult child's first medications were anticonvulsants but still I was conflicted and worried. My son was only two at the time. A year later his behavior problems were so severe that the epileptologist recommended antipsychotic drugs be added in to an anticonvulsant that already had mood stabilizing properties. I think the decision to use medication is very individual, personal and, the situations are dynamic and complex. We all know that medication won't cure any of the problems our children have. Medications are never a quick fix. Most of us apply many non-medical strategies in addition to medication in order to help our families maintain some semblence of peace and the aforementioned quality of life. As for Tenex specifically, we did not see any change with our difficult child after several months and dose increases so we weaned him. We did not see any adverse side-effects during the time he was taking it which was earlier this year I think. The medications are all trial and error. What works for some many not work for another. Several parents here see/saw positive results with that class of medication. Good luck and welcome! [/QUOTE]
