[QUOTE="klmno, post: 278327, member: 3699"] Just based on my difficult child's experience and what I've heard from a couple of other parents around where we live- 1) Be cautious of abilify- especially if no other mood stabilizer is being used; and 2) the ONLY allergy medication that helps my son's allergies a little WITHOUT completely scr**ing up the moods is the nasal spray Astelin. The dr said it has a different chemical make-up than the other nasal sprays. It has to be used for several days or a week, every day whether exhibiting symtpoms or not, before seeing improvement and ny son had to use it continuously throughout allergy seasons, but it did do the trick. He has to stay away from the steroids the dr used to rx. Zyrtec worked miracles on allergies but royally messed up the moods and sleep routine. I agree that if he can live with the allergy symptoms it's better to do without the medications. But my son gets swollen eyes and bronchitis and potentially can get asthmatic wheezing again, so not dealing with them is not an option. [/QUOTE]
