[QUOTE="totoro, post: 264721, member: 3155"] by the way, K has the same afternoon thing- she gets very agitated and worked up from keeping it together all day at School. or at least trying to hold it together at School. She comes home and by early evening she is just falling apart. She will start screaming and fall apart over nothing. Trash her room, slamming things... We don't get a lot of homework done. i have given up on it a lot of nights it is not worth the fight. When do you give him his Abilify? Is it all in one dose? I have found for us that splitting the 5mg is more affective for K. We do 2.5mg in the a.m. and 2.5 mg at dinner. Could also be that he is an ultra-rapid cycler. K cycles very quickly, which means at times you can't see the switch from normal to ramping up and then bam, they are in a hypo state or manic and then it ramps down quickly. They can ramp up and down all day long. For K her depression is very short and is more of her anxiety. Once you tune into them you get real good at seeing the change. I can watch K's breathing and eyes and see her changes and know when to anticipate her moods. For the most part... sometimes. :) [/QUOTE]
