[QUOTE="Kjs, post: 390055"] Well, psychiatrist said that she really hasn't had many patients that have gained weight on either abilify or geodon. But difficult child put on a lot. I am hoping it is the abilify. But...I read up on the geodon and it looks like it has the same side affects as abilify. I feel so bad. He googles the medication he takes and always finds the worst possible issues. The anxiety medications really helped his anxiety but not the depersonalization. I wish...I really wish there was something that would help with the depersonalization. I know there is not a medication to help that. He has been depressed. Angry. A lot of anger. School is a problem, as always. He spends all his time in his room on the stupid computer. I would just like for him to spend an hour in the same room as me. He goes to his girlfriends for hours then comes home and goes right to his room. sigh. I am gone 3 days/nights a week and aparently he stays in his room, but husband doesn't ask him to come out. Just lets him be. I don't like him in his room. husband knows that. But difficult child says with the anger and depersonalization he can't remember things. He can't remember what happened an hour ago. So school is really difficult. He is so smart. He says he is not smart anymore because he cannot remember anything. Actually with the way he describes how he feels, the out of body/dream feeling I know know how he can make it in school at all. He said he has been very, very angry for a couple weeks. (he went off abilify a couple weeks ago) He wanted to go to psychiatrist and agreed to try anything. Will this new medication help with the anger and depression? I am afraid the Lamictal is pooping out. He was on this for several years starting 6 years ago. Then off for two years, now back on. It was wonderful when he first took it 6 years ago. But there wasn't the other issues back then. Just the anger. ODD. Now many things have set in. I really would like to know other's experiences. It helps. [/QUOTE]
