[QUOTE="confuzzled, post: 337993, member: 8831"] i feel for you. its overwhelming. if it helps you, i can only say that my daughter's experience with zoloft and concerta was disasterous, because we hadnt stablized the underlying mood disorder [I]first[/I]. for us, an SSRI and a stimulatant was the absolute worst course of treatment. everyone is different. everyone's reaction/benefits to medications are different. and its a long hard road to take. surely, until now, the psychiatrist did what seemed to be an appropriate course of treatment for your son...and now there is a fork in the road and you need to try something new. ALL of these medications have "scary side effects"...doesnt mean ALL people who take them experience those side effects. i'd put in a call to the psychiatrist explaining about the dance and see if it makes sense to stay put tonight and start new tomorrow. or not. but i'd do what they tell you to. abilify had no noticeable effect on my difficult child with the first dose. i was told that it can potentially make you tired so we gave it with dinner to see if did. it didnt in our case. but its worth noting, particularly if there is a dance, and a late night planned. call the psychiatrist office and get your questions answered. they will be answered with [I]your difficult child's[/I] specific needs in mind. [B]and tell him i hope he has a great time tonight!![/B] [/QUOTE]
