[QUOTE="mum2JK&TH, post: 24593, member: 1784"] My son is a lot younger than yours but we tried Strattera and it didn't work at all for the ADHD and when we tried upping the dose, the tics started. He has Tourettes (tics and does the grimacing plus other tics) but he needed something for his ADHD as they were ready to kick him out of school. We didn't have any choice but to put him on a stimulant but our neurologist also put him on Clonidine for the tics. Up until a couple weeks ago it has worked well. Just another idea. We lowered my sons Clonidine dosage and are now running into the tics getting worse, so we need to go back for a medication check. We have also been told by others about Tenex which is like Clondine but not as many side effects. We'll speak to the neurologist on Friday about that. Welcome to the board [/QUOTE]
