[QUOTE="Merfille, post: 66582, member: 3911"] Hi [img]:smile:[/img] My daughter is 6 and has recently started Abilify, also. She will have been on it 3 full weeks tomorrow. The first couple of days she slept a lot. She is still sleeping more than she used to (averaged 10 hours a night and now is getting 11-12). Our psychiatrist said very young and very old tend to get sleepy with it. She was on 2mg at first then went to 4 mg last week. We noticed a difference right away, but of course, the first few days was because she was too sleepy to do anything but sleep or rest! lol After that, it was an amazing difference. We have had the best 3 weeks as a whole. Today was our worst day but compared to how it was before, it is not too awful, I guess. She's still 6 but she feels more peaceful and successful. She says she feels more normal like other kids now (that's so hard to hear her say, but it also makes us so happy for her). I know things always change, but as a whole, right now Abilify is really helping her. I hope you guys have success with it. Oh, we had started the doses in the morning, then shifted to night. Now we are doing one 2mg in the morning and one 2mg at night. Now that it is in her system good, she seems to do fine having it in the morning. She has fallen asleep in the car a few times, though, but other than that has not napped since the first week and a half. Good luck [img]:smile:[/img] [/QUOTE]
