abilify

So psychiatrist looked at difficult child's tongue and thinks that the little movements he sees around the edges may be tardive dyskinesia from Ablfy. Anyone has seen anything of the sorts? When he's stressed, tired, manic he starts moving his tongue about checking out missing teeth etc. Says can't stop. And I...

difficult child just turned 11 last week, and had a pretty stable 18 months since his five months stint in residential in 2007-2008. By stable I mean no physical violence towards people and no auditory hallucinations. We've had the usual impulsive behavior, food gorging/hoarding, lots of lying, and unless...

Has anyone else had issues with Abilify and outbursts of anger/weepiness/frustration/intolerance? My son has taken 2mg of this medication for 6 mos. successfully and all of a sudden--his problematic symptoms are back! I am heartbroken and at a loss. Could it be hormones? (he is 10 and a half)...

It has been a while since I have been on because my difficult child was doing really well up until 3 weeks ago. Just got back from the dr. and he has changed his medications again. He has taken him off the imipramine he was on due to a side effect of not being able to breath thru his nose at night. He was...

difficult child (14/15 in May) is on high dose Abilify 37 1/2 mg & Tenex 2 1/2 mg daily (at night). He seems to tolerate it fine with no side effects. Most difficult children or adults are not on this high dose. It makes me worry though; however, since no side effects, doctor. thinks it's not a problem. It is what...

Eeyore is complaining about hallucinations. This is new. Could Abilify be causing it? They started when we tried to wean him off Abilify (he was put on it for anger).

Hi all....Our lives have changed to the good since my oldest son has been put on Risperdal by the neuro, only 0.2ml made a huge difference! BUT he gained almost 8 kg and is still gaining....he also started bedwetting...Both side effects of Risperdal! So the psychiatrist said we need to switch to...

Hi! I don't post here very often, but I probably should! My 6yo son has diagnosis of predominant Mood Disorder not otherwise specified, ADHD Combined, and ODD. He's been ron Risperdal .5 2x day and gained a few pounds the last few monts. He got a new psychiatrist, and he suggested we switch to Abilify. We've tried this...

Yesterday, son gave me a .......... HUG. It wasn't a gift and it wasn't a Thank You. It was just a hug in an attempt to CONSOLE me! What alternate universe have I entered????????? Now, I'm 100% positive that maturity has a lot to do with this. Every year of his life he'd have some sort of...

I called my ins company to find out why I had to pay nearly $600 for Ablilfy last mo. (30 day supply) It was a terrible confluence of a name brand and a health savings plan where I had not yet the deductible. husband raised it to $6000. Gulp!:overreactsmiley: So, back to the age-old question, what...

Hi all, hope everyone had a nice Mother's Day! My difficult child has been on Abilify for 2 months and we've seen such a great turn around. We've slowly increased his dose to 5mg and we may need to increase again, but we're happy with-things for now...until Friday. Friday, pre-school called and said difficult child...

I've posted before about my son being on respidone, then serequel with bad reactions. I'm trying to find another dr. Most of the places that take our insurance or medicaid don't have any openings until may! Since he's taken abilify before without any bad reactions, will it hurt us to start...

I am new here... My story seems long and confusing, but I imagine that you all understand this. My youngest daughter is 5, and has had very VERY intense tantrums since age 2, to the point that she bites her hand and arm leaving bruise bite marks. My ex husband, mother in law, parents...

Since my son got released from the psychiatric hospital in the beginning of March where he underwent significant medication changes he has had a very stuffy, crutty, booger mixed with blood nose. Sorry but that is the only way to explain it. He also has been drooling alot. It seeps out the corner of his mouth and...

Could some of you please visit the Early Childhood board and address this question? The parent is understandably anxious as her 3 year old was hospitalized last week due to a possible medication reaction (Risperdal). http://www.conductdisorders.com/forum/showthread.php?t=17519&page=3 Thanks, SRL

The doctor changed PCw/BiPolar (BP)'s medication's yesterday. We are now trying Abilify. The resperdal helped with the voices/depression/hallucinations, but her anxiety and paranoia were off the charts. Hopefully this one will be better. Plus daughter couldn't stop eating!

Are we looking at major side effects? The psychiatrist is pitching a huge fit that difficult child would like to see if she can go off of some if not all of her medications. Tdocs are behind difficult child, and so are we. I am just wondering at the time frame we are looking at, and what if any side effects will we see? I just want...

IF YOU WANT DETAILS, START HERE. IF YOU WANT TO GET TO THE QUESTION, SKIP DOWN TO THE BOLD. (I can be wordy) My 9 yo difficult child has been doing very well on Abilify after switch from Risperdone 2 months ago. She was invited to a sleepover at a friend's home nearby. difficult child's dad was home, and I was out...

Speaking of jinxing, the Abilify does seem to be working. husband and I are going to tell the dr we want to go ahead and up the dose from 2.5 to 5 mg, (aka a whole tablet). difficult child is doing weird nice things like saying "Please" and "Thank you," helping me bring in groceries, and actually getting off of...
