my son seems to be noticing a difference for himself. he said last week his anger level was about 10, and the last couple of days about 3 or 4. he says he thinks he is sleeping better since taking it, and he thinks that is why he feels improved. i do not know how fast it is supposed to work. the true test will be when spring break is over and he is back to school.

it can work fast - though this seems very fast. the placebo affect is if course instantaneous). ksx I am an administrator on this site. "Having a great intellect is no path to being happy." See my website: www.katysaraculling.com |

LOL!! Yes it was! Well both son and I have been on Abilify. I think my dose might need increased, started on 5mg. Last PMS was not too good. Son just punched me in the right jaw three times. He is now on the phone with a crisis line. He was pissed because I would not let him go across the street to play with the dog. He got scissors and acted like he was going to cut himself then me. Same old shit about living with his dad..............He said I ruined his day so that is why he was going to cut me. I grabbed the scissors away and that is when he decided to punch me. We hide items like scissors, I just happened to have them out because I have been cutting shelf paper for my cabinets. "Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that.

oh dear... well no drug is gonna be perfect, but it seems to me it has reduced these events overall? 5mg, is that all? I am on 30mg. Definitely ask for an increase, the minimum, MINIMUM dose you want is 15mg daily. ks-know-it-all-x I am an administrator on this site. "Having a great intellect is no path to being happy."

As you have said before KS, that is not bipolar. That is just bad, manipulative behavior. He has an appt with his psych on Wed. and I will talk to him about an increase of the abilify perhaps from 5mg to 10mg and reduce the risperdol from 3mg to 2mg. My son ended up calling the police because my husband recorded this event of him punching me. My son was angry we recorded it so he basically told on himself. Of course as soon as my son punched me, my husband dropped the camera and restrained him. He had to spend 4 hours in juvenile detention last night and we had to go talk to a probation officer this morning. If he does not act out like this again for at least two years, last nights episode will be deleted from his record. I am thinking about not taking him to Georgia with me to visit family. Might be good for him to spend 8 weeks with his dad over the summer instead of the typical 6 weeks. "Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that.

I find that anger is merely an expression of another, more focused feeling. Usually, I'd guess either jealousy, shame, or inferiority. If you caun find the root of the peoblem, you can deaden the tree that bores its fruit. The "flaws" that move us to hurt move us also to share our pain with others, thereby making others feel less alone and, thereby, becoming a vital link in a chain reaction of, subtle though it may seem, healing. |

I understand what you mean judas with the focused feeling. He gets fixated on an idea and when it does not come to fruition, watch out. The big trigger is when I have to tell him he cannot do something or he has to do something he does not want to. When I tell him "NO", all hell breaks loose. I could tell him he can watch tv and not do homework or pick up his room, but this is life. We all have to do what we NEED to do before we can do what we WANT to do. In the long term I would not be doing him any favors letting him get away with this stuff. Easier for me, yes. Best for him, no. "Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that.

Exactly right marz.... kids need to know boundaries/responsibilities etc - for their own safety a lot of the time. Sounds like you're doing a great job with your son, and even though it's not the easy route, it's good for him in the long run. No sig. |
