[QUOTE="lmd02814, post: 262550, member: 7196"] I found your site last night. What a god send. I'm grateful for all the posts. We need a medication for our difficult child (finally breaking down) to combat ODD stuff. He's currently on Focalin for ADHD -- works well 'til it wears off then LOOK OUT! YIKES! Major BS'er, brat, liar, etc. doctor prescribed Lexapro 5 mg. yesterday to mellow him out. I asked about Wellbutrin (for dopamine effects). It made more sense to me. doctor disagreed. Does anyone have any input or experience with-medications for the ODD symptoms. His behavior is bad. When on the Focalin, He's a great kid, smart, funny gifted athlete. But it messes with-his eating and sleep. He's on Clonodine too at bedtime. The ODD behaviors are destroying his life. Suspended already from school (6th grade), no friends, low self-esteem. He's finally becoming aware of how lousy his life is and feels bad and remorseful when brat fit is over but he can't shut the mouth, especially with-authority. [/QUOTE]
