[QUOTE="Malika, post: 576604, member: 11227"] Medication is a controversial subject. Parents have to take their own decisions, weighing up all the considerations. For me, 4 and a half is too young to be taking a substance that is licenced by the manufacturers for use only on children 6 and above. I would imagine - while knowing little about the subject - that the return of her disturbed behaviour has some link to withdrawal from the medications. Have you tried other natural products - lack of magnesium and iron are also implicated in ADHD/ODD in young children. Some people have reported great success with magnesium and iron supplements. If it is possible, you may wish to get a blood test first to ascertain her iron level. Zinc too is useful, vitamin B. Routine, calm, predictability. Swimming. Animals, especially horse riding. Some left field ideas. Give the withdrawal from Abilify some time to settle. And the book quoted, "The Explosive Child", is very good. [/QUOTE]
