[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 219609, member: 2423"] Welcome. I'm glad you found us. If your difficult child is hallucinating, he needs further treatment ASAP. Command hallucinations are considered an emergency situation that needs attention now. Have you considered bringing him to the ER and having him admitted to a psychiatric hospital again? Perhaps Abilify is not the right antipsychotic (AP) for him, or perhaps he needs a second AP to augment Abilify. Furthermore, he is on an antidepressant (Amitriptyline), which has been known to destabilize children with bipolar disorder (including causing hallucinations). If you won't go the psychiatric hospital route, can you call the psychiatrist first thing Monday and get in to see him immediately? Weekends can be slow around here, but others will be along to offer their advice. Again, welcome. [/QUOTE]
