[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 387915, member: 1514"] Having walked in your shoes many moons ago, I feel your pain. I wont scare you with the details of my life because you would run for the hills...lol. I really wonder if you are dealing with something other than ADHD and ODD. Oddly...pun intended...that was Cory's first diagnosis. Cory could be the demon child or the sweetest kid on earth...you just didnt know who you were going to get. We did therapy of all kinds from the time he was 4 until he was 17. He could therapy speak with the best of them. In the office he knew exactly what to say and do but he couldnt apply it in the real world. The stimulants - he was on ritalin at first and then adderall - worked for making his hand writing a bit better and he was a bit more still, but it did nothing for his behaviors. When he was small, they didnt acknowledge BiPolar (BP) in kids around here. They just kept telling me there was something off about Cory...something more was wrong with him. He was different than other ADHD/ODD kids they dealt with. Well yeah! We found out later he was bipolar. Or maybe he was. We truly have never seen much in the way of depressive episodes until one time in his early 20's when he took a bunch of pills when his baby's momma said she was gonna keep his baby away from him. He claims he did that just for show...dont know. I called ambulance and he was admitted for 24 hour hold. Now they say bipolar and unknown personality disorder. Mental health is a puzzle. You have to try different medications to see what will help the symptoms. That might give you a clue as to what the diagnosis is. If stimulants are causing more harm than good, then trying something else seems fair. Maybe something to even out his mood would be good to try. I know I have a lot of anger problems. I present in my bipolar a lot like early onset bipolar and my own theory on that is because I have been bipolar since I was a child. I can rage quite well...lol.
