[QUOTE="pepperidge, post: 158527, member: 2322"] Christy My son reacted really poorly to Tenex. It made him more irritable, and after about ten days we started seeing really frightening physically violent aggressive actions. The kind where you lock yourself in your bedroom to protect yourself... We stopped the Tenex and the aggression totally stopped (well, went to a place that seems pretty normal for a kid with difficulties regulating his emotions). However, it didn't happen overnight, took about a week or so to get out of system. by the way, this was the second time we tried Tenex. The first time he was on it about 5-6 days and we d/c because I thought it was making him more irritable, but there were other things going on so I wasn't sure it was the Tenex. For what is worth, this is a kid who can't tolerate stims (makes him anxious and tics worse), strattera (made tics appear, zombie), Trilpetal, Lamictal, Topamax (no effect). He definitely needs ADHD medications but can't tolerate any. Only thing we have found that helped is a very small dose of Abilify (helps impulse control), and a small dose of Zoloft (which I was totally reluctant to start) which helps with his not getting fixated on things (like going shopping after the stores have closed) and meltdowns. Anyway, all this to say that I definitely believe there is potential for the Tenex class to cause paradoxical reactions. [/QUOTE]
