[QUOTE="Sara0224, post: 412688, member: 11318"] I am new to this site and am not really sure what to do with my 6 year old son. He is ADHD and has ODD. I am at my wits end. I had recently had him on Adderall. Thats where everything went down hill. Actually, since I started him on the medications it has been going down hill. His ODD didnt start rearing its ugly head til the medications were being taken. I dont know if I should just stop the medications all together or what. I can handle the ADHD. The ODD I CANNOT TAKE anymore. His Peds took him off the Adderall and I have started giving him Concerta. We have tried everything as far as punishments. Spankings, time outs, taking what matters most, emptying his room of toys and things to play with, leaving only bed and dresser. Iv gone from being mean to babying him. I hate having to bend to him, baby him, or even be mean to him. The last three mornings now I have had to physically dress the child. I cant seem to win. Everything to him is every body elses fault. He never does anything wrong. I have to bribe him to take his medications. Spring break is coming up toooooo soon for my kids to be home. I am really worried how it is all going to play out. My question is???? Do I keep him on the medications or take him off. I would rather have his oldself back than this evil child. I love my kids. Honestly, he was my favorite. We all have out favorites. But since taking these pills (any of them), he has turned into this evil child. I have had his fist thrown up at me, kicking me, doors slammed, room torn apart, stomping, throwing stuff, angry scary faces, and frankly I am tired or tip toeing and walking on egg shells with this child. WE ARE THE ADULTS. This child used to be sweet, yes ma'am no ma'am yes sir no sir, followed mostly all the directions, very few problems out of him. Yes he was not paying attention in school at all times and he was s o m e t i m e s getting into trouble. But he was NOT this angry mean child that I have now. Help oh please help me. What do I do?
