[QUOTE="tessaturtle, post: 23242, member: 3510"] Hi Janna, Our difficult child boy who is turning 10 wants to take karate as well. We have been leary of this, just in that we are concerned that he may use it against against his sister. I do like the self discipline and respect that it teaches, however. Let us know how it goes! By the way, I noticed Dylan is on Lithium and Abilify. Just a heads up, our difficult child was on ABilify for a year. His mom asked his doctors to give him more medications because he was acting up at her house. The ARPN kept him on ABilify and added Lithium. Our difficult child turned into a complete zombie. Went to the bathroom in his pants all the time, lost complete interest in everything he used to love because the medicine made him numb, developed severe anxiety and could not be physically apart from you for more than a foot, had night terrors, seemed to not be able to process anything, and then had a complete mental breakdown where he thought a monster was coming through the ceiling. He ended up making threats to kill himself during this breakdown and we admitted him to a Residential Treatment Center (RTC). FIrst thing the doctors did was take him off of the Lithium and told us that those two drugs should never be used together. They were not very happy with the ARNP that prescribed them. Just wanted you to be aware, because we were not aware of the possible complications and suffered greatly. Hopefully your situation is much different [img]:smile:[/img] [/QUOTE]
