my 16 yr  old son has had add since he was very young , I had been also told he may have ODD but I just put it down to being a strong willed person. Over the past year he has refused to take medication which he said didnt help him .At around the same time he started to develop what I now see as CD Combat Disorder . I find that I cant get him to co operate but he says he will promise to do things that he is supposed to like go to school co-op or homework. then he refuses constantly much to his detriment . is there any medicatin for this that can help . he will not go to therapy. He knows how to play people getting what he wants
Hello, Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor for posting your query. I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through. He seems to be having oppositional defiant disorder and not the CD (conduct disorder) yet. Therapies are the best option but if he cannot go for the therapies then the other option is taking low dose risperidone. This will reduce the irritability and aggression. Hope I am able to answer your concerns. If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you. In future if you wish to contact me directly, you can use the below-mentioned link
