[QUOTE="Sara PA, post: 72190, member: 1498"] I think it's way too much of a conincidence that the behavior started with the birth of a second child. He's stressed, you're stressed with the colicky baby. Your stress feeds his stress and the next thing is he's throwing up at night. I suspect you have a very anxious little boy there, expecially with those Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) genes. Anxiety can mimic ADHD. ODD is more often a symptom of something than a separate disorder. In your position (well, anyone will tell you.... in any position) I would think more than twice about medicating a three year old for a diagnosis based on observed behaviors and nothing more. Too many conditions/disorders can cause the described behaviors in a three year old and the drugs used to treat one can make another far worse than it is. Considering the possibilities of side effects and that virtually none of the psychotropic drugs have been tested for the short term, let alone the long term, on children as young as yours, I would be very slow to medicate.
