[QUOTE="Charlene1, post: 6418, member: 3255"] My 5 year old son was diagnosed with ODD. After 10 month, of trying everything I finally asked for medication for him. They put him on Risperadol and I now have a wonderful little boy again. He used to be a holy terror. He hit people, threw toys at people, climbed walls, cupboards and had fits of rage. We would send him to his room and he would throw the matress off his bed, pull the drawers out and just destry everything he saw. We tried grounding, spanking, taking toys away, and nothing helped. He said he hated me, he hated himself, called himself stupid. It was so frightening to think the a child this young had feelings like that. It was so emotionally challenging for me as well as im sure for him. I started checking out Odd on the internet and doing alot of research on it. It was then that I started thinking about medication for him. I was just getting physically and emotionally wore down. The first day he took his medications I noticed a difference and it has only gotten better. Ive increased it a bit where he is now stable. He is still a rough and tumble boy, but gone is the anger and the rage that he had. When I think back to 6 weeks ago to where he is now, I often wonder how emotional it was for him at that time. He is a sweet boy. When I hear him say "no thank you mommy", or I love you mommy, it brings tears to my eyes because he was never like that before. He was always angry or so hyper that he didnt stop to think about anything. I loved my boy before but I love him even more now. good luck to you [/QUOTE]
