[QUOTE="maxeygirls, post: 364264, member: 8869"] Well that would explain the issue with not sleeping... She's taking 2mg total per day, 1/2 pill in the morning, 1/2 at night. She goes to sleep just fine but wakes up within 4 hours, sometimes I get her back to sleep, sometimes I don't. Since Thursday night I've gotten about 7 hours of sleep and considering how tonight is going, I'm going to guess I'm pulling another all-nighter like Friday night. I feel so stuck. We tried different doses of Risperdal for months, and a slight change had a drastic change in her. One dose did nearly nothing but adding only a few drops turned her into a zombie. She's so much better focused on the Abilify, able to speak clearer, talk through her problems for the most part and acts more her age than I've ever seen. Now I'm starting to worry due to the lack of sleep and the odd violent outbursts with no warning. And of course, this all has to happen while husband is field training. Thank God he'll be back next week, I need reinforcements and I'm almost out of coffee and sanity. [/QUOTE]
