[QUOTE="tictoc, post: 402583, member: 7916"] My difficult child (also 8 yrs) is having a lot of problems with Abilify (15 mg/day) and is probably going to start coming off it next week. Lots of sleepiness at school, often has to take a nap in sp ed room, very spacey during schoolwork, and now trembling hands and an overall "weird" feeling. I consulted with the psychiatrist by phone this week and he says it is time to move on to something else. difficult child has been on Abilify since August. The sleepiness started immediately, but otherwise his behavior improved at first. Each dose increase (from 2 mg to 4 mg, then 8 mg, then 10 mg, then 15 mg) has given a few days or a week of better behavior and less aggression, but the positive effects have been very short lived. It now appears that the negatives are outweighing the positives. [/QUOTE]
