[QUOTE="helpangel, post: 528107, member: 7170"] Wow that is a whopper dose of Abilify they decided Angel had maxed it out at 30mg; I don't think I saw her stable for 48 hours the entire time she was taking it. The aggressive outbursts were off the charts and food took on a whole new meaning to her. If they do discontinue it I urge that they do it slowly as they took Angel off cold turkey and it threw her into the worst psychosis ever for her (26 days inpatient). The behaviors you listed and looking at diagnosis's in signature those don't look to me like ADD medications. in my opinion ODD is a symptom more then a diagnosis. The tenex (antihypertensive) ok if had the hyperactivity but then would call it adHd. Sorry I'm rambling, just a little puzzled - have they ever tried a mood stabilizer? Not meaning to be dispensing medical advise just curious why they chose an antipsychotic medication like Abilify? Both my girls have had ODD, adHd diagnosis's in past that were later ruled out. Oh thread was about Seroquel out of the 5 AP's Angel has tried its her most successful; she also was taking seroquel & abilify together at one point. That might be an option for your son so they could back down a little on Abilify as side effects usually occur at higher doses. Seroquel is the only AP my 15yo has tried and is working well for her also. It is quite sedating till they adjust to it in the beginning though. With my girls they needed to get fairly stable before they could get any benefits from therapy or anger management. I hope you get this resolved soon as I know raging children can get pretty strong and he's not getting smaller. [/QUOTE]
