Hi,
I am new to the forum, but not new to Tourette's as my 8 year old son was diagnosed 3.5 years ago. We have held off on meds with good results until recently. His behavior was out of control, he was having trouble in school and his tics were getting a little worse. The neurologist recommended Tenex and we reluctantly decided to give it a try. It seemed to help at first but then stopped. As I went up on the dose as instructed by the doctor, it seemed like he was so much more defiant and hateful and almost manic in a way. I was wondering if anyone has had this response from Tenex as I can find anything in the literature and it is usually given to calm kids down, not make them mean. Please let me know if anyone has had a similar experience.
