[QUOTE="fightingthetide, post: 498237, member: 13610"] Oh gosh, yep, we've tried a lot of different medications. Most recently we tried Risperdone. The idea was to blunt down the irritibility and aggression of the ODD. Well, it didn't do that for him, and actually made him more hyperactive. OUr psychiatrist said this was not a common side effect, yet not unheard of. And recently tried Intuniv, too. We've done Focalin, Adderall XR. Seriously, the medications are like a constant balancing act. One very key aspect of my son's behavior, I failed to mention. He is an angel at school. I am happy about this, perplexed by this, and frustrated by this. The moment he walks out the school doors he's ready to do battle. Anybody else have this situation? [/QUOTE]
