[QUOTE="peachybear25, post: 203254, member: 6127"] I am - of course - new to this site. I don't know where to turn. I am a single mom of a 6yr old girl. She has been diagnosed with ADHD/ODD and the Dr. also thinks that she has Tourette's. I have no one where I live that I can talk to. She goes to a therapist every other week and has been for about 2 years (it does't really seem to be working, but I keep bringing her so she has someone to talk to). I have tried TONS of different medications for her (clonidine, medatate, daytrana, strattera )- and most recently vyvanse. I never know if they are working, because I can't get her to take them consistently. It becomes WW3 in my house in the morning trying to get her to take her medications. I know they would help her if she would take them, but I can't get her to do it. I have been given ways to try and get her to take them and it doesn't work (ice cream, soda, every kind of juice on the planet - I have even tried bribery - toys and money). She WON"T take them. I don't know what to do anymore. I get so angry with her, and I know that it is accomplishing nothing, but I can't let her win either. Does anyone have ANY suggestions? I am tired of crying. Thanks, Teresa [/QUOTE]
