[QUOTE="shutterbunny, post: 31134, member: 3568"] We worked up to the 7.5 mg. We originally started on 2 mg for 1 week and then we moved to 4 mg the second week. We went to 5 mg for two weeks and now 7.5 mg. This will be the second week. We see the psychiatrist tomorrow. He felt on 5mg that we still had not seen the ultimate effects of Abilify, so we will see what he suggests tomorrow. wow that's our neuropsychologist won't move that quickly...perhaps because DS is a new patient to him. I will call him on Friday and ask him about increasing the dose and we'll see what he has to say about that...Thanks for the run down. On another note we have kindergarten orientation tonight for our difficult child. The last 2.5 yrs have been long and exhausting, it just kills me that I kind of feel we missed out on some things and he's almost ready to go off to school. Yes, I hear you on the missing out front. difficult child is our only child and I cannot have more so we've kind of wondered what it might have been like to have a more typical child. Meanwhile, I wouldn't trade difficult child for anything, but in the past couple of weeks we've had some good days and husband and I have looked at each other and said, OH, so that's what being a parent is like...that's nice. Thank you again for your help, I appreciate it. [/QUOTE]
