[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 230009, member: 3907"] Talk of suicide when your child is on one of the anti depressants is a big red flag. I would see if you can get an emergency appointment with a psychiatrist. If the medications are not helping your son's behaviour, then chances are that you're looking at something other than ADHD/ODD. Lots of us have started out with that diagnosis, and then started down the path to finding out what's really going on with our children. Who did the diagnosis? Have you had a neuropsychologist evaluation for your son? So many other conditions (including Autism spectrum disorders, early onset bipolar, etc.) have symptoms that mimic those of ADHD. ODD rarely travels alone, and is often a symptom of an underlying condition that has not been properly addressed. Like so many other things in life, a doctor sees hoofprints in the sand and assumes horses rather than zebras. However, many of our children are the zebras. Hang in there. Very glad you found us.
