[QUOTE="confuzzled, post: 384096, member: 8831"] thanks smallworld... no, i give it at night since i am aware that it could cause drowsiness. she is a pretty decent sleeper--goes to bed by nine and i do have to wake her at 6:45--i would think she's getting more than enough sleep that she shouldnt be falling asleep in class. i'm seriously considering ditching the abilify. (psychiatrist is of no real help--thats my next project). we gave it a good try--she's been on various doses since oh, about march i think...more than enough time to see if it help or not. i get the part about s/e being a necessary evil in the stability road, but based on todays call i'm not seeing [I]how[/I]. (if of course its medication related and not PITA related). and obviously i prefer tiredness and yelling over breaking with reality...i'm really not up for that right now. i'm [I]assuming[/I] she'd need to be weaned slowly so i'll have to look to see if i have any of the 1-2mg tabs left. i wish i could get another psychiatrist on board fast but thats not likely to happen--i'd prefer to [I]try[/I] to be a compliant mom, lol. encouraging to know your friend saw improvement---did the weight come off too? being on this merry-go-round might be easier if we had a meeting of the minds, a firm diagnosis, and less apathetic docs.
