[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 100805, member: 2423"] I take two medications -- one for acid reflux and one for migraines. Neither is sedating. Both help me feel better so I can better parent my challenging children. Some parents here have mental health conditions for which they take medications. In some instances, these conditions have been passed on to their children, which is why both parent and child take medications. If medications you have taken make you feel sick or sedated, they are not the right medications for you. You should know that ODD is rarely a stand-alone diagnosis. ODD generally results from an underlying condition (such as ADHD, anxiety, depression, Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), BiPolar (BP), etc). When the underlying condition is identified and treated, the ODD behaviors typically subside. If your difficult child has not had a full evaluation with a professional like a neuropsychologist or a multidisciplinary team at a university or children's hospital, then I would strongly recommend it. Only in identifying exactly what you are dealing with will you be able to put into place interventions that make a difference in her and your life. [/QUOTE]
