[QUOTE="agee, post: 339795"] Hmmm. doctors. have mentioned Depakote as next possibility. They also want him off his imipramine since he's been taking too much for too long. But they're not taking him off that until we find some stability elsewhere. This behavior isn't really anything new - it's just kind of amped up today and today is when we upped the Abilify. And yes, he showed this on the Risperdal and with nothing, as well. We switched because Risperdal didn't seem to be doing anything. We had increased it over the last month or so from .5 in the a.m. + .5 in the p.m. to 2 mg. at night and 1 mg. at a.m. and saw no change. So they suggested switching atypical antipsychotics. This is just wearing us down. For the past 4 years it's been try this - try that - try this - try that - and no real results. But maybe this is it and we need to give it time. Or maybe we'll be on to Depakote next... A [/QUOTE]
