[QUOTE="JLady, post: 225564, member: 6439"] Doglover.. My son is taking Vyvanse-20mg and risperdal. I started with the peditrician. We then went a couple of different pshychologists. Finally we went to a child psychiatrist which add the risperdal to the vyvanse to help with his agression (what I think the other doctors refered to as ODD). He is doing much better now even though he is still agressive and emotional. I don't think he is on the right combination of medication yet but we are working on it. I am also in the process of scheduling an appointment with a Psychiatric Social Worker for therapy. We have been to pshycologists and doctors that I didn't feel "comfortable" with regardless of the referrals and reputations. I really liked the Child Psychiatrist and think she has gotten us on the right path. It's a lot of work to educate yourself about the different diagnosis's and they all seem to overlap. The people here have been awesome about ansering questions and explaining the differences. also, someone here recommended reading [I]The Explosive Child[/I] which I am reading now. It is useful as well. I was able to find it at the library. There are a lot of books out there too. Use the resources available. [/QUOTE]
