[QUOTE="keista, post: 454308, member: 11965"] Welcome to the board and ((((HUGS)))) First off, you are NOT a terrible mother. You did not intentionally throw out the instruction manual he came with - you never got one. When you found one that was a close fit, you jumped in and used it - successfully it sounds. Problem is, such manuals simply don't exist - for ANY kid. Second consider that maybe this drug isn't appropriate for HIM. Might have to try others to find a good fit. Third, many of us here don't believe that ODD is a diagnosis of it's own. It's more a list of behaviors that can be seen in countless other dxes, and those need to be ruled out, but at such a young age, it is often very difficult to do so. At his young age, it's certainly an acceptable "placeholder" that says there is something more going on with this child, but you need time and age to see what the driving diagnosis may be. So, welcome again. You've found a great place for support, guidance and insights. :notalone: [/QUOTE]
