Our daughter was recently diagnosed with ODD. She mainly displays the behavior at home and with the people who love her most – myself, my husband and my mother (she says she doesn’t misbehave at school because she doesn’t want to embarrass herself). However lately, it seems to be trickling into...

:happy: Wow - I did a search on Trileptal and aggression and found this forum! Hurray! I've never known a place where people can understand what my life is like!! (although I am both married to and mother of a difficult child, so I'm hoping to find someone else who knows how that is - anyone on here?)...

Ok...so, I'm working on getting an appointment very soon with the psychiatrist to review difficult child and his medications. I really want him OFF the Adderall and I want to discuss alternatives to adding an SSRI (like Zoloft) to his medication plan, which is what they wanted to add early this week. It's pretty obvious that the...

In trying to figure out what is going on with my 10 year old difficult child (Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), ODD, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), chronic tic disorder) I several times stumbled across info on Tourettes that seemed to describe her, except it usually mentioned ADD/ADHD, which she doesn't show any signs of. Last week the psychiatrist who we met...

Hello all. I hate that it's been a while since I've been on here and now I pop in asking for advice. :( I'm at my wits end and I don't know what to do. I'm hoping someone on here will have suggestions. I'm currently waiting for a return call from my son's psychiatrist and in the meantime I'm just...

My ds, 13, is odd. Not a diagnosis from doctor. God forbid I ever get him to a doctor. He is non compliant about getting help, thinks there is no problem, defensive and angry. I am the absolute worst mom to be his mom. I am shy, non confrontational, feel responsible for everyone's feelings and whatever...

Has anyone tried gluten free diets for ODD. My son is up to 3/4 Lexapro a day and 1/4 ativan 3 times a day. We see the MD for medication check up and the counselor for anger management. Things have seemed to get worse though. He cannot control his anger. If we do not give him what he wants he throws a...

Really not sure where to begin without completely boring all of you. I stumbled on to this site while trying to figure out why our 13 y o was becoming worse to discipline, talk to, be in the same room with, etc. I am in desperate need of advice, maybe even comfort from other parents/moms who...

Hi there. An introduction and seeing if this would be a good place for sharing our story. I have a daughter who's been diagnosed with atypical mood disorder, anxiety disorder, ADD (which I don't believe) and we're still thinking possibly bi-polar or depression. She's been tested for many things but...

Yet another day trashing everything in difficult child's room. It's like a quarterly thing around here for years. She's taken more money from my purse and stolen all the change husband has from his (deceased) bro. Plus some other stuff. It's been a very tough day and I hate having to do this to difficult child. I'm sure...

My son is 11. He was recently diagonised with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Mood Disorder-not otherwise specified and Conduct Disorder. He is also a heart patient. He was born with multiple heart defects and has had corrective surgery 4 times. The last surgery was when he was 5 and was a heart valve replacement. We started to notice huge...

difficult child 2 has been getting his healthcare through the VA. They had him on all kinds of medications, steroids for a supposed asthma (NO pulmonary function test was performed), atavan for restless arm, ambien for insomnia and others I can't even remember. They got him off those medications and some doctor saw him for...

HAs anyone here had success with adding an anti-depressant to a mood stabilizer (the issue is cycling- not seizures)? Is it very common? TIA

I have son who was diagnosed with ADHD in 2004 at the age of 7 years old by a clinical psychologist that specializes in ADHD/ADD. And the world wind was just getting started. After the diagnosis, I took my son to his peditrician and he was placed on medication to control his ADHD symptoms, and...

My son is 4 ½ and has had trouble in school/daycare since he was 2 ½. He was a “biter” until he was about 3 ½ and now we’re having difficulty with other forms of aggression at school. We do NOT see these behaviors at home. Some background information: He hit all of his developmental...

For nearly 10 years my son has been on some kind of stimulant. Recently he began having trouble with elevated blood pressure and heart rate. In particular his heart rate. After going a few days without medications (Focalin) his level went down to normal so starting tomorrow he is on his own until we...

http://www.conductdisorders.com/forum/f6/what-going-my-attention-deficit-hyperactivity-disorder-odd-difficult-child-40096/#post424302 We have visited our Behavioral pediatrician. three times since then. First time he wanted to try Intuniv. What is it about him and the Intuniv? He wanted our 6 year old...

Well bio mom called us last night when SS was in the middle of another rage. She says she is going down to file unruly child charges against him this afternoon. Which she really needs to do because he is becoming so violent. He is totally out of control, and was delusional last night. Said he...

Hello I am new to this forum and so excited to finally find some support from people who have been in my shoes. I have a four year old little boy who I truly love with all my heart. He has always been a more challenging child, which I realize now that I have a two year old girl who has been so...

We just can't afford all the testing that we need to get done. NO one can lend us any money. My daughter is out of control. If she doesn't get what she wants when she wants how she wants she flys into a screaming fit, hitting and kicking. I don't know what to do anymore. Either we let her tell...
