[QUOTE="Steely, post: 467194, member: 3301"] Whew....I read all the posts. Yay. OK. Well welcome, and I am sorry you have had such a crummy week, month, year. I will skip all the things I would have said 3 days ago when this post started, and zero in on your son's reaction to Abilify. My son, who has bi-polar, had the same reaction. He was up for something like 3 days without sleep on Abilify - he was literally out of his little mind. HOWEVER - the other anti-psychotics worked miracles for him. So - yes - no SSRIs for your difficult child like Zoloft or Prozac - but I think an AP other than Abilify might really help your difficult child. They help slow down the thinking so that it does not become muddled and distorted, and so that they can truly process a thought and react appropriately. Anti-psychotic are medications like Abilify (the newest one) - but better ones for us were Seroquel, Zyprexa, and Riserdal. I would keep working with this Dr and just tell him - Abilify made my son have auditory hallucinations, so NEXT AP please. [/QUOTE]
