[QUOTE="Bunny, post: 407192"] I have an 11 year old who was diagnosed with general anxiety disorder and ODD this past summer. In our case, we believe that the anxiety is what fuels the ODD behavior. If we can control the anxiety, the ODD behavior gets better. It never goes away completely (unfortunately), but it can get better. We started him on Celexa, which turned out to be a nightmare for us. Made him far more aggressive that he ever was before. So we weaned him off of that and started him on Risperdal. That, so far, seems to be a great fit for him. Like I said, the anxiety fueled ODD behavior has not gone away completely, but he is far more level and easier to deal with when things do not go his way. Pam [/QUOTE]
