[QUOTE="Janna, post: 62644, member: 2737"] Dylan took Abilify for almost 17 months. He started out small, 5 mg., and we saw a difference the first night. It was the first night he went to sleep without anxiety, hyperactivity, up and down for two hours before falling asleep, etc. Within three days I saw a huge improvement in his focus and his oral expression. However, every 2-3 months we had to up the dose, because as with Loth's difficult child, it just fizzled out. So, he went to 10 mg. Again, great improvement. Then, hyperactivity, impulsivity came back, and we went up to 15 mg. By the time he hit 20 mg. we saw side effects. Holding saliva in his mouth, drooling, and we had to discontinue. It's an awful shame for me and my son, because this medication, in conjunction with his Lithium, was the most miraculous cocktail we had seen from almost 20 medication trials. If you're seeing positives, that's wonderful. It's no cure, but it sure helps. I hope it continues. [/QUOTE]
