[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 253050, member: 3444"] Hi and welcome. If he tends toward the depressive end of the bipolar-ish diagnosis (diagnosis), then Lamictal is probably a good choice for him as a mood stabilizer. Abilify can help with impulse control, agression and negativity -- so if that's what you've seen in your difficult child in the past, I would think this medication would be good. Abilify does cause sedation. When my difficult child 2 took it he did so at night to lessen the effect somewhat. Can't really speak to the nosebleed issue. Perhaps your pharmacist might be able to shed some light on that. When you get some time, please tell us a little more about your difficult child's history, how you came to this diagnosis for him, and anything else you feel is pertinent. You've come to a great place for information and support. The people here are like none other I've ever met! [/QUOTE]
