Re: X post DAN is recommending Abilify for my son

December 16, 2008

This is a brand new medication....so not a lot of use in children.

I don't know if it will help him since it's designed for people on

antidepressants whose antidepressants aren't working. Hopefully,

someone has tried it here and can advise.

Also assuming you have tried yeast treatment, antivirals, any

supplements that might help, amino's etc. I'm sure you have. But have

to ask.

Anyone else?
