[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 398652, member: 1550"] If your son is so sensitive to the medications that he hallucinated, you may want to have him evaluated by a neuropsychologist first before putting him on anything new. Tofrinal made ME hallucinate (I'm sensitive to medication too). in my opinion...best to see what's really wrong before going anywhere with medications. ADHD/ODD is often a first diagnosis., but is often just as likely to be changed and diagnosed as something else further down the road. Many people on this board, me included, feel that ODD is a kind of throwaway diagnosis...it is unhelpful. It doensn't address WHY the child is so defiant. Hey, it COULD be t he right diagnosis, but I wouldn't mess with a child. I'd have a neuropsychologist evaluation just to make sure. You can't fix any problem with just medication. I agree with SmallMom that the ultimate goal, after a neuropsychologist evaluation, should be seeing a child Psycshiatrist (not psychologist or therapist). Good luck! [/QUOTE]
