[QUOTE="AllStressedOut, post: 77233, member: 3837"] My youngest difficult child just turned 7 and he was diagnosed with bipolar earlier today. He starts his mood stabilizer tomorrow night. I've thought for awhile now this was the correct diagnosis. All the ADHD medications did was make it worse, so did the anti-depressants. There was a show of improvement in the beginning, then it went down hill fast. Have you checked into getting a new opinion? Our old psychiatrist would up dosages on zoloft too. At one point, my now 11 year old, who was 10 at the time, was on 200 mg. He was a zombie and I insisted they come down on the dosage. I'm not familiar with Abilify. Even with 3 kids on medications, it's not one we've tried before. Maybe someone else on the board has some experience with it and can shed some better light than I can. [/QUOTE]
