[QUOTE="pepperidge, post: 20165, member: 2322"] Janna, Here's my experience for what is worth. my youngest is on Abilfy. It led to some weight gain but not huge at all. My oldest is on Risperdal. That would have led to weight gain, had he not been on a stimulant. My youngest the one on Abilify tried all the stims, but all made him very whiny. We just trialed Focalin (while he was on the Abilfy) but that led to more aggression I think and more obsessiveness so we have decided to d/c the Focalin. My oldest started out on Adderall, and did well on it, except for the rebound was pretty bad. Now that we have added Lamictal and everything else, it continues to do wonders for him. By the way, Topamax has had no effect on either boy's appetite, so I am really wondering why we didn't see that side effect, when we saw everything else. Good luck--at least with the stims, you know what you get pretty quickly, though I have to say this last go around, we started low and it was not clear what effect the Focalin was having. (better than a bad effect!) [/QUOTE]
