[QUOTE="klemie, post: 117905, member: 4531"] Hello eveyone, Well I have a 7 year old son that was just diagnosed with ODD, a daughter with sever anxiety disorder, and a husband that was diagnosed two years ago with Bipolar and so I am here! Life is busy, rough at times but I love them all. Just came home from hospital today as my hubby is having a major depression and needed adjustments to his medications and a specialist as he decided shortly after being diagnosed that he couldn't take it . Now we are on the right track, our daughter lives in a residential treatment facility and its rough. My daughter is doing great though and we have high expectations that she will be home in the summer and able to attend main stream high school in the fall. I am working very hard with my son's teacher but it is really difficult with my son. I have made a routine schedule on the fridge for my son of what he has to do in the morning and after school till bed and this seems to work very well for him. I have asked the teacher to have my son tested and it is going to happen in March. What I would like to know is some stratagies to use on my son for his arguing. Also, I am interested in knowing what medications seem to work for others. My son is on 20 mg of dexadrine and 25 mg of straterra. At bedtime we have to give him clonidine for him to fall asleep but boy does he get irratable. It seems that his medications run out way before bed and it makes it very difficult to do homework. I do see a lot of behaviors in my son that are the same as my husband but that could be just learned behaviors too Im sure.. Any advice would help, Thanks, [img]:smile:[/img] busy mom [/QUOTE]
