Jo,

I actually emailed our insurance company today to see if we could get the Intuniv cheaper.  We'll hope for the best.

I was just shocked that our pediatrician is not comfortable prescribing Tenex.  Seems like docs have been using it that way for a long time.  Longer than Intuniv for sure.  I guess I'll just keep on her about it.  Her office called and said they want us to go to a Children's Hospital for one appointment and then *if* they will work with her she may be willing to try the Tenex.  Crazy.  Both my nephews were just prescribed Tenex.  One has ADHD/ODD and one has Aspergers/Aggression.  It is not a controlled substance so maybe I could just go to their doctor (a couple hours away) and get started on it.

Thanks for your advice!
