[QUOTE="serenitynow, post: 16093, member: 3410"] My 8 yo 67lb difficult child started Abilify Thursday night (2.5 mg - I cut the 5 in half), as a last-ditch effort to try medications. He threw up Friday morning, but then was a changed person the rest of the day (the boy I know and love!). Because of this, after talking to the pharmacist and his p-doctor, we tried it again Friday night along with 1/4 of an acid-reducer tab. (I grind up both and put it in a spoonful of pudding - only way I can get him to take his medication.) No problem with stomach next morning, and none since. He is back to the loving, focused child he was on Risperdal (gained tons of weight on that), but, yes, he is more jumpy. I've noticed that he gets upset about little things easier BUT gets over it fast. I'm really hoping this is going to settle down, because he is so much happier with himself. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
