yup! thats probably it.
So you got increased anxiety with abilify? I havent found anything as good as the zyprexa for my son I wish I could have the abilify work like the zyprexa, (without side effects) maybe he would adjust long term. I know it affects all people differently
He has a friend who also took risperdal but had hormonal problems. For my son the risperdal caused his heart to race, tics, sweating, and all kinds of nasal stuffiness (weird stuff). His friend is on abilify 7.5 (it was lowered from 15) he weighs less than my son about 40 lbs less. The thing is his first dose of abilify knocked him out , it did the exact opposite for my son, He was paranoid, and jerking all night, even when he finally fell asleep.
I'm not sure but I may have takin some of thouse. They didn't help in the long run. Its a big metal helmit on your head, looks like a wire mess with contacts on your head, stuff like that?
