[QUOTE="Janna, post: 29026, member: 2737"] Dylan has been on Abilify for a year now. Started at 5 mg and is now at 15 mg. The drug has been a good one, with it's ups and downs with side effects. It works great for a good while, then eventually always fizzles out, which is why his dosage keeps going up. It has helped immensely with impulsivity and hyperactivity, but has done nothing for focus/attention. It has helped (in conjunction with a mood stabilizer, my son is BiPolar (BP)) greatly with his moods. It helps him sleep - yes!!!! - give about 30 mins before bed. Down - huge weight gain (although some is the Lithium too). He also has this problem with holding saliva in his mouth (started as drooling) that is worrisome. We're considering weaning him off, but it's been good for him in alot of ways. All kids are different, I hope this works for your difficult child. Janna [/QUOTE]
