abilify

Question. How far have you all gone to get the behaviors that you need? I need him to stop hitting me and kicking me. His most natural response to most requests or comments that I have is to come to me and hit me or act like he is about to. He has a psychiatrist, a counselor, medications., been on...

Does anyone have any advice on how to deal with my 14 yr old difficult child who is self destructing? He is CD, we have been in juvi court every week for the last 6 weeks, he just keeps adding to it. He became a ward of the state last week. None of this has any effect on his choices: stealing the car...

This time it's the Risperdal, I'm pretty sure. He had his usual dose last night (back down to 1.5mg from earlier in the week). About 30min after I gave him his Depakote, he started having the jaw pain and drooling and his eyes were rolling up again. I just left an urgent message for the...

Hello, I have been away for awhile and need advice. My difficult child is diagnosed with bi-polar. He has currently been taking Abilify 10.0 mg 1x/day and Clonidine 2 times/day (1/2 pill in am and 1 and 1/2 pill at bedtime). He continues to struggle with moods,oppositional behavior and has started some new...

difficult child had a rough therapy session this a.m. The therapist read him the riot act again, and told difficult child to quit rubbing his hands all over his face, to sit up straight, quit texting, make eye contact, and pay attention. He said he's too old for this kind of garbage and the impression he's giving people is...

I need to update my signature, we just changed my son's medications over the Christmas break. He was on vyvanse but his behavior has not been good for a while (since Nov-ish), very moody, angry, agitated, easily annoyed, etc, and he was starting to have problems at school with-putting his hands on people...

So I met with psychiatrist and difficult child yesterday, it was the first time I had met with psychiatrist with difficult child present. Before difficult child came in, I mentioned the tics and the leg movement. She agreed it could be the seroquel, and then tells me she increased the seroquel Wednesday and added 25mg in the morning and 25mg...

psychiatrist just added abilify to the tegretol and lithobid. I told him I had made a parental decision and decided to try a few days without the naltrexone and things are looking good on that front. He told me that was fine- just keep some around in case cutting starts back. He also said it was ok to...

This happened two nights in a row. I went into Duckie's room last night at 10:45, she had twisted herself up in her blankie and I figured I would straighten her out while she slept. She was very stiff... she was lying on back and had her knees bent. I couldn't lower her legs. She wasn't...

I've HAD it!!!! The disrespect and rudeness is getting totally out of control. It doesn't matter what consequence I can think of....twelve years of them and they still don't work. I had his mouth one too many times this evening and little gestures like me telling him to stop something...

difficult child became increasingly aggressive over the 2 months he was on Risperdal. It came on gradually but steadily until I realized what was going on and told psychiatrist I wanted the Risperdal stopped. The aggressiveness went away. With the Prozac, it started as a slow but steady increase in defiance then...

I have been doing research online today about the ADHD medication Vyvanse. Concerta 36mg seems to be running it's course with- difficult child. We have a psychiatrist appointment on Tuesday and I am going to discuss it with him also. But the best feedback and advice will come from here I am sure of it. I know all kids...

So thing have been going pretty well... since K got out of the psychiatric hospital. she was trying really hard. We have had a few bouts of violence and episodes. But all in all better! This past or so she has been obsessing about various things. Her normal thing is a party everyday... we have to pretend we...

So today, Tink beat up a kid. A boy in 3rd grade (she's in 2nd). The teacher called me and said that if she did not know it was Tink, she never would have believed it was Tink. She said she had never ever seen her escalate like that before. Welcome to MY world! Her new doctor had put her on 10mg...

that may be working for your kid. What do you do when you've tried them all? Dylan's hyperactivity and impulsivity are skyrocketing. We had him 6 full days over the holiday, and every person that came in contact with him said he seemed "10x worse", "ready to jump out of his skin", "couldn't...

My wife & I adopted our son at 2 days old. He just turned 5 on 9/11/13, and is an only child. He was about 4 weeks premature, and tested positive for stimulant exposure, but showed zero signs of any effects from it at birth, and thereafter. He was the perfect infant: Slept through the night...

She was 3 hours late on them. And WOW you could totally tell. It was the first time EVER that she was refusing to take them. She was screaming and raging at me. And, that hasn't happened for almost 8 months I think. She actually scared me. Can anyone say the ABilify had worn off!!!! And...
