[QUOTE="Farmwife, post: 337358, member: 8617"] difficult child tried abilify for mood disorder (bordering on bi polar) Didn't seem to work at first then it worked too well. He was energized and bordering on bizarre thought. My guess is it thrust him almost into mania. No real harm was done, we noticed quickly and doctor tappered it off fast. The only real difficulty was the frustration in another medication not working and dealing with behaviors until the next one worked. Of course medications work differently with everyone, as you well know. Abilify was described to me by a professional as a mood stabilizer with a slight "upper" quality. I'm sure that was the official technical way for them to put it.:raspberry-tounge: Is it the one that the commercials mention *can* increase suicide in teens? I would read the literature very closely just to be informed, you just never know... Of course I knew that you knew to check things out. You parent a difficult child, of course you knew! :smart: Good luck. I never like medication changes, always means one aint workin' and another may or may not. UGH. [/QUOTE]
