[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child has had good experiences with Abilify but experienced the weight gain side effect. Depending on your child, I would not rule out medication as one tool in the tool box to help your child be successful.[/quote] We definitely have not ruled out medication. He is on his 3rd right now. I just have some concerns about putting him on an antipsychotic or mood stabilizer at his age, though he may need it. I'm glad your child had a good experience with Abiligy? Can I ask how long they were on it?[/quote] My child has been on Abilify for at least five years (I think my child was on Abilify by third grade based on dysregulation in the school setting) at this point with gradually increases. Because my child has had a successful school year (knock on wood with respect to the last few days), our psychiatrist is recommending that we begin reducing the Abilify now (my child advocated for no changes until the school year ended)[/quote]
