[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 375600, member: 2423"] How old is your difficult child? I recommend not starting any psychiatric medications without seeing a child psychiatrist first. That way you can figure out what class of medications should be started first. FYI, mood stabilizers are typically prescribed for bipolar disorder. They include Depakote, Lamictal, Lithium, Trileptal and Tegretol. ODD is not a helpful diagnosis. It typically describes a set of behaviors for which there is an underlying cause. When the underlying cause is identified and treated, the oppositional behaviors subside and improve. I personally would ditch this social worker. She's too much of a downer. [/QUOTE]
