[QUOTE="oceans, post: 34438, member: 2687"] When my son was younger the ADD medications never worked either. Is he diagnosed at all with depression? You mentioned that he was depressed. If the ADD medications had an adequate trial and they did not work then it might be more then ADD. I don't think ODD is a great explanation unless he has been evaluated for other disorders. A mood disorder would not get better with ADD medications, and once the mood was under control with the proper medications the ODD behavior might go away for instance. Does he have an IEP and behavioral plan in place at school? What might be the reason he is failing? Are they working with him there? I feel like a good portion of my life was spent advocating for my son both in schools and in the psychiatrist's offices. Perhaps he needs a new evaluation from a different psychiatrist. [/QUOTE]
