[QUOTE="pepperidge, post: 402548, member: 2322"] Hi My son was on abilify for a couple of years. He couldn't tolerate stimulants (and Strattera did not help either of my kids, led to flat affect, stomach problems, did not help with focus etc). Abilify helped him regulate his moods and curb his impulsivity though eventually it petered out. It did make him a bit sedated at first so I would give that side effect some time to wear off. We eventually went off because we didn't think it was working too well but also because it was causing some wierd tics. I would be cautious about increasing dosages--stay with the 5 mg dosage for at least a week or two before you increase it. We found that if we went higher we were getting more negative behavior.
