Ugh. So, I came back last week and posted my family update. For the most part, my update on M was OK, but it's starting to go downhill rather quickly. Not only have the past few nights included hitting, kicking, biting, and restraining (which we haven't had to do in a LONG time- thinking it's related to the increase in Zoloft 4 wks ago), but husband thinks he noticed a new symptom tonight.
I've mentioned M's excited clapping that with husband's redirection has now become a quick hand-washing motion that he'll unconsciously do when he puts something down. I've told his psychiatrist who said in the absence of other movements, we'll keep an eye on it. Well, tonight, husband noted that M seemed to be shrugging one or both shoulders unconsciously/uncontrollably.
Could this be a side effect of either Zoloft or Abilify? Or, is it more likely a symptom?
