[QUOTE="Wiped Out, post: 670202, member: 1631"] First off, welcome to our small corner of the world! My son was very defiant (as well as violent) on any stimulants (which Ritalin is) but that is because he is also Bipolar (we also found out he couldn't take any anti-depressants because of his Bipolar as well). I'm sure it could be the Ritalin or a the Zoloft or the combination. What does the doctor say? I would be sure to let him know you are seeing this defiance. My son is not on a special diet (fighting over food when he was young was not wise as it was always a trigger for him), however, I do believe certain food plans can be a good idea for kiddos with ADHD. I would definitely check with a specialist on that though. As far as consequences for a bad day at school, we would process with him but if had a consequence at school we didn't also give him one at home except in the case of suspension-then I made him do school and housework the length of the school day. Has your child ever seen a neuro-psychologist? They can be very helpful in determine what is going on along with seeing a child psychiatrist and a therapist. Stick around, you will find much support!
