[QUOTE="pepperidge, post: 127893, member: 2322"] Have you tried Tenex or Clonidine? my youngest had a paradoxical reaction to Tenex--we tried it for a week, made him very cranky and irritable. Tried it again a year later for a couple weeks, also seemed to make him more irritable, but he also started to get extremely aggressive to the point where we were locking ourselves in the bedroom to prevent oursevles from being kicked. The reaction went on for about two weeks or so after we d/c the medication. Needless to say, its not my favorite medication (right up there with Trileptal and Lexapro for my oldest), but it does work for some. If I were in your shoes, I would want something to try to address the underlying issues, then if you needed something like Clonidine for sleep. I can understand why you thinking that it is not the answer. [/QUOTE]
