My 12 year old son was diagnosed with ADHD and ODD several years ago. Has been on Strattera for 4 years and that is helping greatly with the ADHD. We have tried several medications to help with the ODD but he always has side effects. He is currently on Depakote which up until now has helped. The biggest problem is in school but more often lately home is unbearable, too. He does everything he can to get kicked out of school. He goes overboard in the bad behavior category. He swears, throws things, bangs & slams doors, disrupts classes with obnoxious or childish acts. He has been suspended twice already because his behavior is more severe than his current BIP addresses. At home, he is argumentative about EVERYTHING. He yells, defies all requests, and throws things. He takes off on his bike whenever he doesn't like what I'm saying or wants to avoid the consequences of his behavior. He knows I can't catch him and he's very good at hiding so I can't find him. I don't know what else to do.
