[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Medication shouldn't subdue his personality. It should just calm him down and let him focus better. Medication needs can change up or down with time. See your psychiatrist.[/quote] Agree with this. Maybe the med is the wrong type or the dose is too high. And therapy is helpful. Also, ADHD when a kid hits puberty is a whole new ballgame for many. Additude magazine online has great resources off puberty, discipline, and oppositional defiance disorder. He may not rise to the level of ODD but the parenting tips are helpful nonetheless.[/quote]
