[QUOTE="Christy, post: 296995, member: 225"] Tenex has been a very good medication for my son who does not tolerate stimulants. He first tried clonidine which seemed to work for a short time but then threw him into a depression (Tired, irritated, no joy in anything he did). I was skeptical of tenex because it is so similar to clonidine but does not seem to be as sedating so it hasn't caused the irritability we saw before. That said, be mindful of the dose. A little goes a long way and it will knock you out. My son takes his 1mg/ am, 1/mg/2:00, and 1/2 mg at bedtime. When the psychiatric hospital doctor put him on 2 mg twice a day, he slept almost constantly, and slurred his speech, drolled, very low blood pressure, dizzy. This went unnoticed by the psychiatric hospital which is very disturbing and a discussion for a whole other post. But at a low dosage evenly spaced throughout the day, tenex has been the best medication we've tried for the adhd symptoms. [/QUOTE]
