[QUOTE="wjaes, post: 12737, member: 1960"] Sara, You are so knowledgeable and I so much appreciate your input. We go back to see his psychiatrist in February. Should I suggest a medication wash? Personally, I haven't noticed any behavioral changes other than a brief period when he first started the abilify in august (he seemed more able to take part in conversations and calmer) ever.
