[QUOTE="keista, post: 529024, member: 11965"] My experience with ODD: About 3 months after starting treatment with prozac for depression and anxiety, I was back to the psychiatrist's office AGAIN complaining that things still weren't right, and that DD1 seemed to be getting more......well......oppositional. We had already upped her dosage once, and there was a new psychiatrist in the clinic. This new psychiatrist upped the dosage again and added a new diagnosis - ODD. This was at the beginning of my journey so , OK. As I was scheduling her next appointment, I overheard another mom discussing her kid's latest diagnosis - ODD. hmmmmmmmmmmmm That month, no improvement, in fact, things were getting worse. Both with her moods AND behavior. Went back with the same complaints and was assured it was ODD and I had to give the medications more time to work. While checking out, MORE parents were discussing their kids' new diagnosis - ODD. Then a flyer caught my eye about parenting classes for parents of kids with ODD - Only $50 per person! Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm some more. I had discussed the new diagnosis with the counselor that was coming to the house - she worked with the same clinic. She kind of dismissed it as an issue for DD1 (she was working off her own diagnosis) then I started sharing with her what I was overhearing and told her I'd be very curious to know exactly how many kids at that clinic were now afflicted with that "condition". Anyway, I started researching prozac and story after story online fit DD1's behavior to a 'T', so I went back in to discuss getting her off of prozac because I thought her problems were a bad side effect of the medication. psychiatrist insisted that it could not possibly be and that DD1 definitely had ODD (well yeah, [I]NOW[/I]) and here, check out this website which I think will help greatly (of course, not telling me that the equipment and service would cost hundreds of $$$$$$ I still believe he must have been an investor or founder of that system/website). Instead, I fired him and got her off the prozac. Miraculously, she stopped being ODD. Still was crazy depressed and had anxiety, but definitely NOT oppositional anymore. Things that make you go hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. [/QUOTE]
