[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 353795, member: 1550"] My son was also diagnosed with ADHD/ODD. All stimulants made him mean and aggressive, which he never was before so we stopped the medications and went on to try and see if he had gotten the right diagnoses (we suspected it was wrong). Stimulants and antidepressants have the ability to make kids even worse. If this is since he started Adderrall (my son did worse on Adderrall than any of the stims, but they all did the same thing)...it's probably the Adderrall. Has he ever seen a neuropsychologist? Are there any psychiatric problems on either side of his genetic family tree? Any substance abuse? How was his early development? Did he make good eye contact, cuddle, speak on time? Can he transition from one experience to another well? Can he relate well to his same age peers? He doesn't hate you. He just has something going on and it needs to be diagnosed. in my humble opinion he hasn't been diagnosed right yet. Often it takes time. I like NeuroPsychs because they do 6-10 hours of testing and don't leave any stones unturned. Many of us here think they do the best diagnosing. You need a new doctor. Many kids with disorders hold in their "different-ness" except with the person they feel safest with...Mom. Lucky us! Then we get it triple time because they tried so hard to hold back with others. In time, however, without treatment, they do start acting out with others and it can turn into a mess. I'd want a brand spanking new evaluation. My son has high functioning autism, not ADHD/ODD...that diagnosis was WRONG and didn't help him. He's 16 and doing great now. Welcome to the board...very sorry you had to join us though. [/QUOTE]
