Question: Tenex

[Guest guest]

Hi all -- we're going through something puzzling and I'm hoping I can

draw on others' experiences.

A week ago, Dr. Goldberg had us reduce the amount of Tenex our son is

taking. After a day or two of needing extra sleep, he perked way up

and is so bright, talkative, funny, empathetic and focused now that

we're practically in hog heaven enjoying him! The down side? Last

couople of days, he's been much more emotional, much harder on himself

than ever if he doesn't do something perfectly right away (leading to

a tantrum), and had a *very* unusual aggressive episode when his day

wasn't going the way he wanted (he BIT his classroom aide on the

cheek!!! No skin was broken, thank God). Last night he was playing a

video game and I could hear him crying and yelling out in frustration

over not being able to complete a difficult level; I knew that it was

mostly because he was hungry. He WOULD NOT come to dinner. I'm

talking a screaming tantrum about not coming to dinner UNTIL HE

COMPLETED THE LEVEL.

Okay. So, does this sound normal for reducing Tenex, and will this

pass? He's doing SOOOO well otherwise.

TIA,

Donna
