Hello Happy Girl,
Thank you for responding. My daughter has been ODD since 2 yrs. old. ODD is often co-morbid and the BiPolar equates for the comorbidity disorder. It is turning into borderline personality, as many who have ODD develop a personality disorder from the ODD either by itself or with it. My aim is to keep the ODD from becoming a conduct disorder...it's a huge job. With the latest changes, she is dropping to an increase in both the Prozac and the Topamaxx. She has been on Zyprexa, Depakote and Goeodan in the past...they doped her up so badly she could only sleep. Although her personality was so calm and she was wonderful to be around, the Geodan and Risperdal kept her from functioning normally and was a problem. I agree she needs more aggressive medication and therapy. She is starting with a new Psyc. next month and hopefully will address some of the probs along with a new therapist. Please pray for us. Thanks-
Cheryl
