[QUOTE="Alisonlg, post: 33892, member: 2894"] Am I satisfied with the ODD diagnosis? No...I'm not. We had started to seek a re-evaluation to look for co-morbidities and the week of his first appointment with the SW who was starting his evaluation was when he had a major series of meltdowns at home and school and was admitted to the psychiatric hospital. I thought for SURE he'd come out of there with a solid diagnosis, and instead, he came out with a more fuzzy one..."Disruptive Behavior Disorder- not otherwise specified" with the CD and ADHD basically ruled out, which basically leaves the ODD. They rx'd the Zyprexa (after trying Risperdal with intollerable side effects) to "lengthen his fuse" so he would hopefully remain more calm and not blow up as easily when he gets frustrated or angry. I've mentioned some things to the psychiatrist about difficult child that they didn't see at the psychiatric hospital...like his rapid mood swings coming out of a rage (bouncing off the walls, talking fast and inappropriately loud, big ideas, super happy as if nothing has happened- basically manic) and she told me it was definately something to watch, but without a family history of anything like bipolar and with him being so young, she wasn't about to really look any further into that.
