[QUOTE="JulienSam, post: 341257, member: 4575"] My 6 yo old was on it, starting at 2 mg, moved to 5 mg and finally 7.5 mg, from October through last week. It worked wonderfully for 3 1/2 months, with the exception of weight gain (which we knew would be a likelihood). Starting 2 weeks ago he began having major meltdowns/rages over things that in the previous months would have not caused a problem at all. After 2 major discipline issues at school (including hitting/kicking other kids, throwing things), we decided yesterday with his psychiatrist to take him off the Abilify and start Geodon. Last night was our first dose, so I'm not sure what to say about the Geodon yet. So Abilify worked well for us for a while -- but not in the long term. Good luck! Julie [/QUOTE]
