So my son has adhd and odd. He’s been on tenex for almost 2 months, 1mg. It’s not working. So we saw his dr last week, and she said she can’t up his tenex because his blood pressure is to close to being to low. Tenex is a blood pressure med. so she wants to start him on a stimulant. I have the script. But I haven’t filled it yet because I just don’t know if I want to put him on something like that yet. My grandma keeps pressuring me to. And it’s so frustrating. Does anyone have a younger child on them? I’m literally at my wits end with his behavior. I can’t handle him and his temper. I’m at a loss. School doesn’t start for over a month, and I literally spend most my days crying already. It’s to hot to go outside during the day, since we have no shade. So we can’t go out until after 630pm. I try having him sit and do school work stuff, crafts, whatever, and it lasts about 5 mins and he’s bouncing around. Help me. 😩😩

Have you your looked into keto diet and cbd oil? There's a lot of diets for add/spectrum children not just keto btw

@kambam, his dr said she doesn’t believe foods contribute to it. Especially since he’s like this all the time, not just after eating certain things. Is that what you meant? And idk if I can do cbd oil legally. My neighbors son has cancer and they won’t even let her use it.

Have you tried therapy? There are behavior therapists that work with children that help them to avoid medication.

@glencoco, yes. We tried for awhile before meds.

I'm not a doctor but I've studied so much nutrition. Food is everything. I don't know what he eats and I'm not saying it could be bad. But there have been links to aDD and gut health. Eating things like gluten for some are triggering. Sugar FOR SURE. So it's worth looking into any food allergies via blood panel. For cbd I'm aware some states are still illegal but it doesn't stop you from buying online and trying it. If you do try it and find it helps, I would seriously consider leaving my state to make my child better.
I hope you can find the help you need. I know how frustrating it can be. I have cousins who suffered and friends with children who needed help.
