Welcome to the ADHD Psychostimulants supermarket! Our latest drug on offer is Tenex which is a high blood pressure drug. The substance used is an alpha blocker. Look at any website for medications and Tenex and ADHD is up there with all the rest of them and of course as it is a non-stimulant drug, it is quite an attractive option. Let's be serious for a moment. Tenex is not approved by the FDA as an ADHD drug so I do not think that Tenex and ADHD will be a winning team.
Apart from the usual side effects which, by the way, are non existent in an ADHD homeopathic cure, there are other things that parents should be aware of before accepting Tenex . Tenex used for ADHD may cause the following problems.
I read all the time on the blogs about children as young as five years of age being prescribed this drug. The FDA have not approved it for children who are under the age of twelve. As 30% of children cannot tolerate the side effects of ADHD psychostimulants, Tenex and ADHD seems to be the answer. But there are other things to watch out for. When you opt for an ADHD natural cure or homeopathic remedy, these worries about side effects and risks just do not exist!
An overdose of Tenex can have severe side effects. The heartbeat may become so slow that severe weakness, confusion and drowsiness may be present. On the other hand if your child stops taking Tenex in a cold turkey way, then this can be very dangerous as well. Make sure that any withdrawal of medication is done under the supervision of your doctor.
While Tenex helps some children with hyperactivity and impulsiveness, it is not so effective in the case of inattention and distractability. Most children seem to have problems with insomnia although some parents reported that it seemed to ease these problems. Just like any other drug, Tenex and ADHD seem to cause more problems than they solve.
Why should a child be given a blood pressure drug at such a tender age? Tenex used for ADHD is controlling nerve impulses which in turn helps to distend the blood vessels. Nobody is quite sure about what else is going on or indeed of the long term effects of Tenex on the chiild's developing brain. Why not consider an ADHD natural cure which is manufactured in a FDA approved facility ? It is just as effective , if not more so, than any psychostimulant or non-stimulant. Tenex and ADHD is a two edged sword but it seems that the risks outweigh the benefits. Why put your child through all that when a safer more effective treatment is available and guaranteed for a whole year!
