[quote=Anonymous]We have a psychiatry appointment coming up and I am fairly certain the next step suggested for my son will be Abilify. He is almost 7 with ASD level 1. His main problem is emotional dysregulation and violent behaviors. If your child is or has been on Abilify, did it work and if so, how long did it work for? Besides the side effects, one concern I have is that I've read for a period of time (anywhere from several weeks to several months) and then stops working, and that it can be very difficult to wean off of. An additional thought I have is that his behavior is mainly a problem at school. He does exhibit some aggression at home, but it's manageable, and I will be working from home while he stays home this summer. I'm wondering if we shouldn't wait until a month before school starts to begin Abilify, just to put it off a little longer given how pronounced the side effects can be.[/quote]
