[QUOTE="Alisonlg, post: 140810, member: 2894"] Saw psychiatrist yesterday...(of course M didn't want to go...refusals are increasing). psychiatrist sees the "un-inhibited" report from school to be a good thing so he thinks the Zoloft is doing it's job. He's increasing the Abilify (I belive the script says 10 mg BID) to compensate for the irritability/anger. We go back in 4 wks and if there isn't enough improvement, he wants to lower the Zoloft back to 50 mg. As for the possible tics (which I called the school to see if they've seen the shoulder shrugging and they said that when he is aggitated, they have noticed it recently), he said he doesn't know what to make of it...and just left it at that. So, that's that. I'm not sure how I feel about this course of action. Thankfully last night was rage-free. Phew. Out of curiosity...do they ever give kids as young as 9 yrs old Lexapro? Judging on how well he did on Celexa (which from what I hear is fairly ineffective as far as SSRI's go), I think Lexapro would have been a smoother move than Zoloft. [/QUOTE]
