Hi, I just stumbled across this site while I was searching for some help with my daughter. She is 6 years old and she was diagnosed with ADHD about 1 year ago. We had a really difficult time adjusting her medications, but we finally got her settled down on Strattera.
That said, over the past few months, she has become increasingly angry, defiant and just plain mean. She will fight me on EVERYTHING! I am just plain tired of the arguments, punishments, yelling, etc. Someone mentioned to me today that maybe she has oppositional defiant disorder. Honestly, I can't even begin to think about labeling my little girl with yet another diagnosis.
While she brings me so much happiness and so much pleasure, the tables can turn on me in a moment. I'm not sure where to turn, but you all seem like you have a better handle on things. Thanks for letting me vent.
