[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 297211, member: 1550"] My opinion, due to my experience with drugs, is baloney. If he took the Tenex and suddenly is very depressed I feel it probably IS the Tenex. You can try for about a week a see. Many drugs got me VERY depressed and they weren't "supposed" to, but that is very individual to the person. I am very prone to depression and the following drugs made me extremely depressed, and they aren't supposed to: Prozac, Lithium, Tegretal, Inderol, and another sort of blood pressure medication--forgot the name. Sometimes the drugs don't do what they're supposed to do. Since I've taken a laundry list of medications from the age of 23 to now, I trust my own body. If I feel depressed and started a new medication, I assume it's the medication and ask for a different one. However, I'd wait a few days. Sadly, I have found that doctors aren't perfect, and some are quite arrogant when you tell them something that they don't expect to happen. Trust your mom gut. As for the school, it's totally your call, but I never told them about medication unless they NEEDED to know because of side effects. Don't let the school influence you on medications. They are educators and don't know Jack about medication. And they shouldn't be asking you about it. Just tell them, "I'd rather keep that between me and his doctor. We're working on it, I promise." The school's job is to make sure he gets interventions, especially for the Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified (my son was diagnosed with that). It is not their job to monitor his medication. [/QUOTE]
