[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 99541, member: 1991"] ADHD in itself can produce problems which resemble ODD. I would be interested to see the research that blames the medication - how can it be properly assessed? There are just too many variables. Anna, have you had a chance to check out "The Explosive Child" yet? I'd be looking at that BEFORE considering changing a medication which is otherwise working. As I said, I would want to really look at that study from a clear scientific perspective. NO scientific study has validity until it has been independently verified. And I've seen a lot of things published, purporting to be 'scientific research' which frankly would never get into a peer-reviewed journal. Most of them get published in either alternative journals, or the conventional media, when the scientific journals reject them for lack of validity. And I AM speaking from experience here; I've had to review a lot of scientific research publications as well as having been exposed to some rubbish research masquerading as 'sheer brilliance'. It wasn't. Mind you, if I can see a series of serious peer-reviewed independent studies which show Concerta linked to an increase in ODD and I'm satisfied the studies were done in minute detail and rule out any possible environmental factor simply due to the ADHD rather than the medication itself, then I will be a believer. But all scientists are sceptics at heart - it is the vital anarchy which itself fuels scientific debate. OK, I get off my soapbox now... Check out the book. I think it might give you an alternative understanding of the "ODD-like" aspects you are observing. It sure did for us. Marg [/QUOTE]
