[QUOTE="Steely, post: 441263, member: 3301"] Miles, I am concerned for your son's long term physical well being. As I, and others, have said the dystonia can become permanent if the medications causing it are not d/c'd ASAP. I am concerned that your DR does not see the concern. Usually that is a huge red flag for doctors and they can't get the medications stopped fast enough. As far as mood stabilizer, it is exactly what it sounds like. It stabilizes the mood. If someone is extremely depressed than they can be on a mood stab, if someone is extremely manic than they can also be on one - it is supposed to help the mood become more neutral. May I gently suggest that you call the Dr ASAP - and talk to him about all of this. Perhaps he even needs to be in phosph while the medication changes occurs. Whatever it takes, you need to get your son off of Abilify. Perhaps while in phosph to get his medications stabilized you can find a new DR that understands the severity of this -and his long term future. I am sending many positive vibes, as I know how hard this all is. [/QUOTE]
