ADHD Preschooler with agression

I don't read a lot about ADHD and agression. My daughter's issues showed up early, at 17 months we knew she had some problems - but what stood our first and foremost was the agression - even then. We did early intervention which yielded us a dx of sensory integration. At 2 1/2 we took her to a children's hospital for a full eval with 4 specialists - dx sensory and adhd. We see a local pediatric psychologist for medication managment (she's 3 1/2 now) and she's in the school district spec needs pre-K a few afternoons a week - so we're doing what we can - but we still have agression problems. We're still workign on the right med and right dosage for her ADHD, but my question is - is agressin a normal or fairly common aspect of ADHD or are we looking at other issues?

I'm in the same boat

My son (5) has similar issues. He is currently on 5mg of fluoxetine in the morning, and this seems to have really helped with his aggression. His adhd issues are still being worked on--hopefully we will find the right med and dosage for him soon--
