Tenex only at night?
Thanks!
Heather
We have tried different combinations of dosing for my daughter. I think it really depends on the child. For us, 1 mg in the AM and 1 mg in the PM works best. When I tried .5 & 1.5 - she was more agitated in the evenings and had more tics during the day.
My son takes 1mg in the morning when he takes his concerta. We also have it incase he needs more during the day.
Why do you think at night? I would think during the day. It is great how we can break them in half and adjust accordingly. My son has also never been tired on the med. It just calms him down with overstimulation. It works great with the concerta.
How did things go after the first day?
With our son it seems to wear off after about 10 hours or so.... that's why we give a night dose for sleep/cam mornings.Audrey
hockeymom264,
We have been on this combo for 5 years now. We have had only success.
May I ask, is the concerta at the right doseage do you believe?
My son does not take Tenex but I am wondering if he should. My son is on concerta but does not have tics but I am experiencing hyper activity in the morning and the evening. Would taking the tenex help calm him in the morning and the evening when given? We are currently take Clonidine at night and lately it seems like it is not working.
My child's dr. says you can take up to 3 mg per day of Tenex (he's 9, if that affects anything).
