My 9 year old son started taking Tenex a few months ago. Both his motor and vocal tics have calmed down a lot and it does seem to still somewhat control his ADHD even though that is not what the medications main purpose is for. Right now he is only taking 1 mg in the morning and 1mg at night but we are about to have his dose titrated again. Praying to stay side effect free!
