[QUOTE="Janna, post: 28323, member: 2737"] Hanging, Dylan is on Abilify. It has been a very, very big help for him on issues with impulsivity and hyperactivity. It really hasn't done squat for his attention, though. He has had a MASSIVE weight gain on this medicine (in conjunction with the Lithium). 15 minutes after taking his Abilify at night all he wants to do is eat. He talks with alot of spit in his mouth. All the time. psychiatrist says it's the Abilify. We're thinking of d/c'ing this medication, BUT, it has indeed been a blessing for Dylan in many ways. Keep in mind, this is an antipsychotic, and can fizzle out. We have had to increase the dosage every 3-4 months since he started on it. I'm glad you're seeing positive results, but would definately consider keeping the testing going. How wonderful he had such a good day! Janna [/QUOTE]
