[QUOTE="pepperidge, post: 363833, member: 2322"] hi CMama, One thing you might consider is trying a half dose prescription. It might give him some of the benefits and make life a little more tolerable. You might also use the time to try a different stimulant. You have many things to consider. One is whether his behavior would drop off sufficiently that you would be on his case all the time. That wouldn't be good for either of you. We found that abilify did tend to peter out. Haven't had that problem so much with the other medications that have worked for my children (stims, Lamictal). Good luck. P. [/QUOTE]
