Re: Anyone else on Abilify

[Guest guest]

My 22 yr. old son with newly diagnosed bipolar was on abilify. He was only on

abilify and has never been on meds. before. Seemed very agitated, shaking/tremor

episodes. Maybe if it is given with other med.s, it works better.

My son was on Abilify, and it gave him diarrhea. He refused to eat his school

lunch because he didn't want to use the school's toilet (contamination issues).

So we took him off the drug.

Everyone reacts differently to pharmaceutical drugs and supplements. Your best

bet is to try the drug and see how your son reacts.

Best,

You didn't mention the dose....this is important. Ability can cause some

anxiety initially. Low doses are best at first even if it's not a therapeutic

so that you don't attribute the side effects to the drug not working.

I hope it helps your child.

Lindsey - 15 is on 15 mg of abilify and 0.5 mg of klonopin. The klonopin is what

really helps the anxiety for her.
