[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 74850, member: 3907"] One thing you might want to consider, when looking at medications...ODD is rarely a standalone diagnosis. Has your little one been evaluated by a neuropsychologist? Have any other diagnoses been mentioned? My difficult child has been on just about every ADHD medication in the book. Right now he's on Concerta, which works very well at managing symptoms, but doesn't rob him of his creativity or spark. Other medications left him with that "medicated" demeanour, which was very difficult. I've heard the opposite from others, for whom Concerta was just awful. You may have to try more than one, or a combination, until you find just the right mix that works for your little one. All the best. There are many on this site with lots of wisdom and experience at this, who will likely weigh in with their comments. Best of luck, Trinity [/QUOTE]
