[QUOTE="Bunny, post: 398498"] My son was diagnosed with ODD and general anxiety disorder and started taking Riserdal a few weeks ago. I think that being told to "suck it up" is really poor advice. Find another psychiatrist and take your child to get a thorough evaluation now. The earlier you start to get help the better off you and your family will be. In our case, we belive that the ODD behavior is being fed by the crushing anxiety that he was dealing with and when things get to be too much for him to handle he doesn't know what to do so he would simply melt down and tantrum when things would not go the way he had it mapped out in his head. Disclipline for my difficult child has been difficult, mostly because I getg frustratged because he never seems to learn from his mistakes. We keep seeing the same defiant, disrespectul behavior and no amount of taking privlidges away seemed to get it though his head that his behavior was not going to be tolerated. Now that he started taking the Risperdal he does seem to be doing better. He's by no means perfect, but his control of his better is better and he seems to be melting less. Good luck. There is an aswer out there. Sometimes it just takes a while to find it. Pam [/QUOTE]
