10 yo difficult child took first dose of abilify ( 1 mg) Wed am. complained all day of stomach cramps, with the runs. Not sure if this is a side effect or just her being lactose intollerant, which she is

anyone who's difficult child is taking abilifywere there any side effects

My difficult child and husband were both on abilify, and did not have that side effect. difficult child had an increase in appetite, and husband had a pre existing condition of tardive dyskinesia, and it worsened that.

All medications have side effects,and different people can have different side effects. Everyone is different. Stomach cramps and diarhea sounds more like a lactose thing to me.

no experience with abilify but I wanted to add my "voice" of support. I know how difficult it is to trial new medications.
