[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 558567, member: 1967"] Well, it has only been a few days. She started taking it last Friday. However, she told me yesterday that she didn't know if it was a placebo effect (her words) but that she felt happier. I've noticed that she does seem calmer and happier but I don't know if it could really be the Abilify already taking effect. I give it to her at night like LMS suggested. She said it knocks her out which I think is a good thing since she usually takes OTC sleeping pills to fall asleep. In fact, husband found her on the couch with the television on the last two mornings. One other thing . . . she said she didn't have her usual nightmares for the last few nights. difficult child said she usually has them nightly and they wake her up and she can't fall back to sleep. Again, I don't know if the Abilify is the reason. I have taken over all of her medications (at her request) so we can be sure she is taking the medications and taking them at the right time. I am hoping that will also help with stabilizing her moods. I have also been breathalyzing her every night before I give her the nightly Lamictal and Abilify. I told her I didn't want to take any chances. She has blown a 00.0 each night so far. We shall see . . . ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
