To: Cc: Hi all- My daughter's doctor has recommended that we start her on a low dose of Abilify to help with her rages and so forth, in addition to the Zoloft she's taking. I'm looking at information online about it as well, but was wondering if those of you with children on Abilify could give me any feedback about what sort of side effects to expect, what it did for their child, etc. Thanks in advance! lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 6, 2003 Report Share Posted December 6, 2003 I'm so sorry about your son, . Does the doctor think that the Abilify is to blame? My friend's son was diagnosed with diabetes at five and he was not on medication. His blood sugar was almost 2,000. No, it's not a misprint. Apparently, they were shocked when he didn't die. He is fine now but needs three shots a day to maintain. I will keep good thoughts about your son and watch my daughter since she recently started taking Abilify. Thanks for the warning.

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2003 Report Share Posted December 6, 2003 Wow 2000? I would have had a stroke!

Guest guest Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 My son was on abilify for a long time. The only side effect we saw was a huge weight gain. He has now been taken off and is back down to a normal weight.

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2008 Report Share Posted September 5, 2008 I was on this for my bipolar symptoms (I have Asperger's, too), and I became extremely anxious on this drug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 Problem with many of the popular drugs/meds given to children on the spectrum is they cause them to lose their inhibitions. Many of their actions or behaviors reflect this and are dangerous. Now I ask myself if the benefit out weights the safety risk as well as the medical risks.
