> Abilify is not used for bipolar, at least not as a first line treatment for it. I would not let that be prescribed based on one pdoc's opinion. Can she have a second opinion done to verify the diagnosis, especially since you say they were investigated for child abuse? Abilify is not a drug to be used in children who cannot tell you really how they are doing. A six year old should not be on an antipsychotic drug without proof she needs this and a second opinion would help to sort this out to prevent giving her a drug that has not been given or tested in that age group.

> StargazerwOW, See, I'm NOT CRAZY!! tHANKS. I'm no doctor, but i know enough to know that This is wrong for my girl. I spoke to someone recently who informed me that their stepson had to have a heart fibulator installed due to the psychotropic drugs they had him on . I gues the long term usage took a toll on his heart and liver. He's 13, and takes NO medication now. He also doesn't act whacked out anymore now thsat he is just allowed to be a kid. Thanks for the comment
