[QUOTE="buddy, post: 522290, member: 12886"] my son uses a medication in the same class and it is the medication that helps reduce aggression for him. He started it a few years ago ....again. Actually when I adopted him, he was 2.9 yrs and he came to me on it (for us Clonidine) in a very small dose. I had to break tabs that were .1 mg into fourths back then. But I didn't know what it was for when I adopted him, LOL.... could have been a BIG clue what was to come...HAHA! So, if this form (tenex in the form of intuniv) does not work, there is Clonidine and my son also uses patches so it is on him seven days a week 24 hours a day which evens it out much more for him. If you see a pattern of ups and downs that could be another option. Also because it can make them sleepy (and that can be just at the beginning or when the dose is increased for a while) the fact that they are tired can be why they are grumpy. But of course it can just be the medication. Kids just react differently...everyone is individual in how they respond to things. I am sure you know, but it is a blood pressure medication so if he gets up quickly after lying down he can have an orthostatic BiPolar (BP) drop and it makes them feel light headed. should always sit first, make sure you are not light headed (move legs around while sitting there to get blood flowing) and then stand. My son is a sensory seeker so when he figured out what caused that he did it on purpose all the time for a while, uggg THAT was frustrating because the school saw him as a danger to himself. [/QUOTE]
