Guest guest Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 We used Abilify in the morning. He did very well and made a few gains at first, but after about 4 months it stopped working and he actually became more aggressive. He also gained 20 lbs in 3 months. Sharon I'd like to hear from anyone whose child has used Abilify. Were you happy/unhappy with the results? Did you administer morning or evening?

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 I have a client of mine that has been taking the medication, he takes twice morning and evening. He is being closely monitored by a psychiatrist I referred him to. He has shown some gradual improvements in the symptoms we are trying to treat. He is a 12 year old. I really want to stress the monitoring of his affect and mood. If you have any further questions I would be happy to answer. Aeleen Tortorici, M.S., L.M.H.C.

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 Evan was on Abilify for about a week 2.5mg and it made him more nervous so we took him off. Now he is on Seroquil at 600mg. This seems to be helping. He also took Zyprexa last year. I guess it depends on the child and the dosage because we had tried Seroquil at 25mg over a year ago and he would get violent. So maybe a higher dose of Abilify would have helped as well.Who knows! It's a guessing game sometimes!Suzanne -------------- Original message from Karp : -------------- I'd like to hear from anyone whose child has used Abilify. Were you happy/unhappy with the results?

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 , was on Abilify for two years and when it was working it was the best medication we used. However when it ran it's coarse and it was over that was it. That being said, we got two years not bad.Get the scoop on last night's hottest shows and the live music scene in your area - Check out TourTracker.com!
