Couldn't tolerate metoprolol (exercise intolerance), lisinopril (sluggishness and weakness) or amlodipine (anxiety). | M | 47 | 5 days | 1/31/2010 | 1 | ad/hd,ocd, tics | terrible nightmares,my daughter was up all night! had no effect on tics ,was more anxious but so lathargic she didnt feel well enough to do anything, BP droped to 76/52.was not able to communicate how bad it made her feel until it was out of her system, its like she was shutting down | this is not a medicine for children! to give it off lable & not monitor blood pressure is totally irresponsible! | F | 10 | 2 weeks | 10/26/2009 | 5 | Aggression, Tics | None | For my son this has really worked like a charm! He may even not take his adderal in the fall. He has much less tics and when he used to get extremely angry he can just calm down now. IT takes at least 3 months to work and he's on 2.5 mg twice a day. | M | 12 | 1 years | 8/24/2009 | 1 | Autism | Staring into nowhere for 15-20 min at a time. Increased aggression. Eyes half open look. | Taken by 8 year autistic boy diagnosed with ADHD, and perseverance (OCD on compulsive side like condition) + temper issues. Made his eyes look drugged (2/3 open). He'd stare for 20 minutes into nowhere. Took for 10 days - doctor said these could go away after few months-stopped anyways. | M | 8 | 10 days | 6/4/2009 | 2 | Autism | splotchy coloring after being in tempid bath water, slight right head tilt | My 5 year old daughter was put on Tenex to decrease her tics and impulsivity. The 2 weeks she was on it everything was still worse. Nothing changed, it didn't even get the benefit of her going to bed any easier at night along with her melatonin-she still would wake up at the same time everyday. | F | 29 | 2 weeks | 4/11/2009 | 1 | Bipolar | Temperature changes, increased agitation, mentally was just "off". | My 7 1/2 year old son was put on Tenex to decrease his aggression and impulsivity. The 3 weeks he was on it everything was even worse than before. He complained of getting very hot especially when he was aggressive. He also seemed to be in a wierd place mentally and his rages increased. After 3 weeks we took him off this. | M | 7 | 3 weeks | 3/29/2009 | 5 | PDD autism/tourrett's | Thirsty more than the norm | My son was prescribed this medication at age 6. He had never slept through the night ever! After taking the med has slept through the night ever since. It also has helped mellow out his outbursts and helped control the tics. Has been taking this medication ever since and has not had any side effects. | M | 8 | 2 days | 9/18/2007 | 2 | ADHD | None | Tried Tenex for our young son's early ADHD symptoms. It was like drinking water for him. Zero results, zero side effects.
