> ben's school called today and said he was terribly "non-compliant" and belligerent....which up until the last weeks or so we have not ever seen before. What is this? Could this be mania or something from the abilify? called the pdoc and he said to wait a few days at the lower dose. He is not lethargic at school anymore! (since I lowered the abilify dose).
>It sounds like a dysphoric hostility thing to me. He sounds grouchy and stubborn. Could be he is coming out of the "zombie" state he was in and this might be a rebound of sorts. I've had definite "rebound" effects from slowing-stopping antipsychotics in the past, but I tended to get more uptight and agitated instead of angry-although I was prescribed Thorazine because of temper flares.... He might level out OK when he readjusts to the lower dose.
