[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 297330, member: 3444"] I'm so sorry he's so miserable and that you're having to cope with seeing him unravel like this. in my opinion you are right to suspect the Tenex. And FWIW I absolutely cannot stand when a clinician tells me that "the book says" something does not happen. That tells me they have no idea themselves and have no motivation to call a colleague with more experience to try to rule something out before resorting to whatever "the book" says. I just did a quick google search for "tenex depression agitation" and one of the first things that popped up was a citation from "The Bipolar Child" -- page 119: [URL="http://books.google.com/books?id=9lx4zLMc_40C&pg=PA119&lpg=PA119&dq=tenex+depression+agitation&source=bl&ots=hZKHqpx77Q&sig=E_vcVAQ0koDBpKe8iBa29kd0nzE&hl=en&ei=Zz2ESsr4JoHysgPrnuyeBw&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=2#v=onepage&q=tenex%20depression%20agitation&f=false"][B]http://books.google.com/books?id=9lx4zLMc_40C&pg=PA119&lpg=PA119&dq=tenex+depression+agitation&source=bl&ots=hZKHqpx77Q&sig=E_vcVAQ0koDBpKe8iBa29kd0nzE&hl=en&ei=Zz2ESsr4JoHysgPrnuyeBw&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=2#v=onepage&q=tenex%20depression%20agitation&f=false[/B][/URL] It is mentioned on other pages as rarely causing depression or agitation. So that doesn't mean it NEVER happens, just that it's not typical. Call a pharmacist you trust and talk to them about what you're seeing. And trust your instincts. If he's like this tomorrow, too, I would insist on taking him off it, but be sure the psychiatrist gives you specific instructions for doing so. (((Hugs))) [/QUOTE]
