[QUOTE="keista, post: 432328, member: 11965"] OK, I'm on a mission to remind every one that the medications we give our kids can CAUSE many problems including ODD behavior AND psychiatrist can and do too often dismiss parental concerns on the issue. It's happened to DD1 twice now. The first time was more obvious - Prozac - it was her first medication. It quieted her depression a bit, but her behavior went through the roof! this happened within the first 2 months and got worse as we went along . I think it was 5 months total. *&&$^%(&*^& psychiatrist just decided to diagnosis her with ODD. we don't see that psychiatrist anymore. Once I got her off of it, the ODD behavior just went away. (no she didn't "work" on it. She was still completely uncooperative in therapy) 2nd time I just identified, and has been a lot more subtle. This time the culprit was Paxil. First 2 months everything was AWESOME. and then VERY slowly went down hill from there. Only after posting details of the time line of behavior and medications, and thinking back to her original behaviors, did I realize and feel confident that Paxil caused it all. I am in no way saying that this is the case for you, but Susiestar's post to you just rang my bells so I had to add my 2 cents on the topic. You know, I've seen many references on this forum of a "magic wand" and while that sounds really nice, I'd settle for an "instruction manual" [/QUOTE]
