Ben did horrible on abilify before - think it caused him agitation at least at a higher dose (hard to tell with the long half life!). The doc wants to keep him on zoloft 50 or 25 mg. cuz ben's obsessions. I don't know. I am getting really crazy with this.....it seems like he is getting too much serotonin (?)
> HELP!
Ben quieted down after we gave him 2.5 mg. abilify, but I just figured out why we gave it up! On another website, a mom was saying that when she gave her child abilify he was on "mission mode". That's exactly what is happening with ben. I couldn't figure out what was going on before, I thought it was obsessions, really urgent obsessions, but it's not, it's MISSION mode! in other words, he HAS to have this thing he is so focused on and goes on and on about it. VERY URGENTLY. So why the heck is abilify causing mission mode and what should I do? It is horrible.
