[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 79152, member: 3444"] FWIW, difficult child 2 had to stop Tenex because it made him hyper-HYPER talkative (pre-mood disorder diagnosis) and pretty much manic. Did not see the depressive symptoms like you are, although he was irritable and I know that can also be a sign... Sounds like it's just not working for K. Don't feel bad about giving up on a medication. It either works or it doesn't. It's not a judgement on anyone. You just need to move on to whatever's next in the planned lineup. difficult child 2 also tried Risperdal and Abilify. They did so-so with his mood for a while, but eventually it just wasn't enough. Abilify put a bit of extra weight on him. He wasn't fat, but was starting to get a little chunky. Now we're worried he's swung too far the other way! Hang in there and try to be patient with the medication trials. It can take a long time to sort it all out. difficult child 2 will be 11 in December, and we've been tweaking his medications since he was 5 1/2. While he is much improved from how he was in June, I still don't feel comfortable with where he is today. Something happened in him about 10 months ago and he hasn't been the same since. [/QUOTE]
