[QUOTE="Kyanasama, post: 165688, member: 5435"] Hi, I am a mom to 3 little boys. Ages 8, 7 and 16 months. My 8 year old was recently diagnosed with ODD, but all of the forms they sent home with him also lean towards him having ADHD. They've put him on Risperdal .25mg dose and it isn't helping. He's just as violent now, as 4 weeks ago. I know it takes time to kick in, but I'm not even seeing a mild difference. In fact, since his behavior isn't across the board (he's different at home and at school), I'm not even sure he really has ODD. I also wonder how much of this is bottom of the barrel treatment because he's on Medicaid. I'm so lost in all of this and am having anxiety attacks daily for all the chaos he causes in the house. He scares the baby, my middle son hates playing with him and holes himself up in my room with toys and books. His behavior goes from nice to taunting to deliberately annoying to angry so quickly. He hits, kicks walls, deliberately hurts the other kids, to the point where he's always supervised with the others, and tells us he's going to hurt himself and kill us when he's in a rage. I know this may seem a bit disjointed, but I am so lost in all of this. [/QUOTE]
