[QUOTE="Nina, post: 127455, member: 3000"] DIAG with ADHD when he was 6 also the psychologist noted possible ed in his evaluation for the school. I think he used this label to ensure he would qualify for the Special Education rather than the 504 program at school. Although there is no doubt we are dealing with something more than just ADHD. We started him in Ritilin LA as prescribed by our psychiatrist and expermented with different doses until last year when we began the daytranna 20mg. Things seemed to be improving until about November when things to a sudden turn for the worse. Since around 3 anger and agrresive behavior took over what at one time had been a happy and loving toddler. Anyway his behavior has become increasing worse and he has become so defiant. No matter the consequences he just refuses to adjust to any situation without trying to manipulate things and do it his way. The term ODD describes him perfectly. Like everyone else we are also always on egg shells with him in an attempt to prevent the next blow up. We've always had to deal with this but I'll take twice a month to everyday any time. I guess I've become increasing desperate and am willing to try a different approach. He definetly has a hard time with the ADHD, and medications are probably still necessary for him to perform well in school but I its so disheartening when you dont know if what your doing or not doing is making things worse. We have an appointment with a pychopharmocologist but not until APRIL and its a four hour drive. I am considering trying something and may consider the suggestion of Depakote. As for the weight thing he weighs like 40 lbs so a little gain would only be a plus. Thanks for the other comments on the medication. Im going online to look up the one you mentioned as well. If you dont mind me asking how long were they on Depakote before you noticed these side effects? Oh and sorry if I rambled. [/QUOTE]
