Hi, can anyone give me their thoughts on using abilify vs. risperdal? My son has a lot of impulse control issues and OCD like behaviors. He is 11 and has PDD.

Miki got very aggressive on Abilify. The ONLY thing that really worked for her

was the Risperdal. The meds really depend on the body chemistry so the only way

you know if it works is to try it.

We use 5HTP with great success as well. I have heard some real horror stories about ambilify.

Abilify has worked well with my child. But of course, every child is different and what works for one may not work for another. That goes for all meds and supplements. I recommend that if you decide to go any type of meds or supplement route, make sure that it's closely monitored by a good doctor, and start off very slowly. Keep a daily journal and report anything positive or negative and share with your doctor.

Good luck.
