Hi, I am new to these forums but not to ODD or ADHD both of which my son has. I am a single parent and he is just way to violent and destructive to live in a normal family environment.

Hello everyone, here is my situation.

My son Tyler is almost 7 years old. He was diagnosed ADHD and put on Adderall. It was like night and day for most of the rest of the kindergarten school year until he reached maximum dosage of 20mg/day.

I have an 8 yo child that is ADD and ODD. He is currently on 36mg of concerta daily.

I have read or am reading every publication I can get my hands on , we have been to child psychologists, behaviorists, psychiatrists, and have implemented all the suggestions.

He is very moody, one minute he is fine and happy, the next he is throwing temper-tantrums and won't comply to anything, no matter what you do. He has weeks where is, what I call "normal" behavior, then thres are weeks where he is crazy. ...

I am SO happy to have found this board! I do not know what to do and don't know where else to turn. My 3-yr-old son is ODD, though not officially diagnosed. He meets all of the criteria, and has been this way well over 6 months. He has his rages several times a day! I just found out about ODD 3 weeks ago. I've scheduled him an appointment with a child psych, but I ...

My 4 year old son has just been diagnosed with ODD and ADHD. We tried him on Concerta & Stratera 18mg and found that the side effects were really bad. His temper got even worse and he looked like he was on drugs (always sleepy)
My 7 year old has ADHD without the ODD and Concerta works great for him. (Probally because he doesn't have ODD)
My question is has anybody had any luck with ...
