[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 59619, member: 1991"] It's not necessarily due to the ritalin, but because it's possible, you need to mention it to the psychiatrist. And yes, there are other medications. Basically, some kids react to one medication, others react the same way to another medication. And they may have no problems with the one that triggers another. It's just a matter of trial and error, sometimes, if there are reaction problems. School district has a different set of priorities to parents, sometimes. An independent evaluation can give you different answers. I wouldn't be happy with a label of ODD without a thorough evaluation for some more likely underlying condition. Marg [/QUOTE]
