Tenex/ Guanfacine

Tenex/ Guanfacine

Does anyone have any experience using Tenex/ Guanfacine as treatment for ADHD (not for insomnia or high blood pressure) -- either as monotherapy  or as augmentive treatment with other meds -- that they would be willing to share?
Thank you.

My 7 yr old son is taking Tenex along with D-Amphetamine. These 2 together have given us much success over the summer, but school starting will be a whole new ball game for us. I haven't tried his treatment with just the D-Amphetamine alone, so I can't really say that the Tenex is playing a major factor in the treatment.

my son will be eight years old next month and he is on guanfacine. he just started a few nights ago. he already has a lot of the side effects, but no change in behavior yet. he was diagnosed with ADHD and ODD. though it is too soon to tell i have more concerns than optimism when it comes to this medication because it does cause weight loss and loss of appetite and my son has alot of trouble keeping weight on as it is.
