[QUOTE="BeyondWeary, post: 336476, member: 8825"] Hi All Most Wonderful and Blessed and Battle-weary Parents - My [COLOR=darkorange]11 yr. difficult child[/COLOR] complained of heartburn guite often when given Abilify. He was on it about a year. psychiatrist said to give it with food. That seemed to help, but then the difficult child complained of stomach pain in November and school work suffered. psychiatrist said to grind it up. That didn't change the situation. I took him to a family doctor and he prescribed omneprazole. Pain continued and school work suffered. I took him to a Pediatric Gastroenterologist and he did a endoscopy and stool sample. Result was no ulcers, but some acid reflux. I have tried all the over-the-counter heartburn/stomach medications inbetween the morning and evening dose of omneprazole. The child gets quite irritable when he feels bad. Of course he doesn't complain when he is playing gameboy, legos, etc. His school work is not getting finished, and the pain seems to be an off-again, on-again thing. His older brother pulls the "I don't feel good" routine to get out of school work. THIS little bugger is very oppositional - very difficult to get him to make his bed, sit for breakfast, take clothes to washing machine, pick up after himself, etc. etc. all day LONG. I mean L O N G. He is usually a good student once you finally :tearinghair:get him started on his school work, and he makes good grades if you give him enough attention. I will take him back to family doctor tomorrow. He has been off the Abilify for about a month to see if that made any difference. It hasn't. Its time for my relaxing hot bubble bath now. :bath: Thank you for any suggestions. - BeyondWeary [/QUOTE]
