[QUOTE="Otto von Bismark, post: 466610, member: 12905"] I just wanted to report that we saw the new psychiatrist today. After 15 minutes, he prescribed my son with Abilify. Kept tossing around "bi-polar" term, which is a first I have ever heard or considered that with him. He does not have any kind of mood swings, nor did he ever seem depressive, until he was put on Zoloft. I stopped the Zoloft yesterday, after the previous night's suicide talks. His school counselor called me to come get him yesterday because he told her he was having suicidal feelings. I am supposed to start him on the Abilify -- 1/2 of a 5 mg dose tonight. I have been reading about side effects. We are the poster children for side effects in this family, so I just don't know. I think I will start reading about Abilify. Clinical psychologist meeting tonight -- this is the guy who is supposed to be really good. I will keep you posted. Husband out of town, getting door alarm from Lowe's today. Thanks for everything, you guys. At least we are off the Zoloft. [/QUOTE]
