[QUOTE="Josie, post: 136215, member: 1792"] My daughter's psychiatrist said that there is no medication for ODD. The only thing you can do is discipline it away or sedate them enough that they are more compliant. I'm guessing that is what the Risperdal is for. I think of ODD as a symptom of something else and not an answer in itself. If you can treat what underlies it, then often, the ODD isn't as dominant. My daughter was diagnosis'ed with ODD. Her real problem was food allergies. When she avoids her trigger foods, there is no problem with ODD. My other daughter could have easily gotten the ODD diagnosis at times but it was clear that Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) was the real problem. If we tried to interfere with her Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) behaviour, we got the defiance. I agree with more testing as well as researching on your own to determine what the real problem is. [/QUOTE]
