[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How long has he been on Abilify? From my own personal experience with my own child and this medication, I wonder if it is a big part of the problem. Also, when my child (who is roughly the same size), attempted to become destructive, I (who am only 5'3" and weigh less), immobilized my child and held them until the fight went out of them. Your child cannot be allowed to terrify your younger child, and can also not be allowed to abuse you and destroy your home. My stepdad is bipolar, and for the last 30 years, no matter what problems we were having with his medication, he was never allowed to be violent. He would have been committed, and he knew it.

[b]Never allowed to be violent?!!!!![/b] In my families experience when my brother was off his meds - he was so irrational that there was no method to get him NOT to be violent. It wasn't a matter of talking to him - he raged and destroyed things and hurt people. Not all cases can so easily be put as "not allowed"...you are very lucky that was your situation. It is truly frightening to see someone out of control..I can't tell you the number of times we had to call the police to manage the situation because nothing else would work without putting ourselves in grave danger.
