[QUOTE="barneysmom, post: 562888, member: 1872"] Bunny my difficult child 2 takes Intuniv. He does have an ADHD diagnosis but when I ran out of it for a few days, he did become much more angry and aggressive. I think the Intuniv helps him become more settled internally. He is extremely hard to parent and is very oppositional (for so many possible reasons I can't begin to sort them out). We give the Intuniv at night although th Rx bottle says every morning. There was a reason for this -- can't remember what it is. Not a drug company reason -- I think it helped him settle for the night and get a better night's sleep. Our psychiatrist gave us a lot of samples -- I remember there was a starter kit from the drug company where you try the kid at 1, 2, 3, and 4 mg for a decent length of time to find the lowest dose that would work. We stopped at 4 mg. Can't remember if we tried Tenex on him. It rings a bell. HTH some. [/QUOTE]
