[QUOTE="m0m_0fa_SpasticAutastic, post: 454404, member: 12660"] i have a now 4 yr old, who for the last 2 yrs they have been telling me he is adhd, but there were just too many other things going along with his behavior that qued us to believe he isn't ahdh, but odd, sensory processing disorder (SPD), and Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). They started him out on tenex, the first couple of doses just wiped him out and he'd just sleep, it was great lol, we could be peaceful for a few hours @ a time during the day with out having to be hit, smacked, bit or screamed at, after a good month or so my son's behavior came right back and was in full force, i called his behavior pediatrician and he increased the dosage which made my son even more ballsy and violent, we decreased and dealt with what we had to, after a year with fighting with the doctor, we switch to a pediatrician psychiatrist, he placed my son on clonidine and adderall (ritlen), the clonidine made him tired, but the adderall wacked him right out, now all this time may i add, we are thinking, if he's adhd, why aren't the adhd medications working.... So low and behold he's finally back on tenex and now risperdone, but now after a couple of months he's tapered to the medication and the behaviors are coming back, he goes back to doctor on the 1st of september and we are hoping that maybe there will be an increase in dosage of risperdone, if not the doctor needs to prescribe me some xanax!!!!
