[QUOTE="jannie, post: 91492, member: 2074"] I don't recall exactly why we stoopped the tenex....actually I think I remember wondering how much it was really helping...my difficult child was in a therapeutic preschool and overall he was doing ok, but still having some pretty difficult times at home. I wondered if the tenex was really helping....and I was concerned about some of his agressive behaviors....so first we slowly cut back on the tenex...and decided to see what happens with nothing and if medication was neeeded we would trial respirdal. Well without the tenex he was totally hyper and impulsive...We decided to trial risperdal which at first really helped, however we decided to add back the tenex because of activity level. So for awhile he was on both medications....and over time we decided to add trileptal (we did this 8 weeks before the start of kindergarten). I think our dosage varied over time....the most possibly being 1 1/2- 2 mg total per day. I was very pleased with this medication....and it's really the most mild of all with very few negative side effects. I hope it works for you. [/QUOTE]
