Avatar f tn can an 11yr old have bipolar? My son has been diagnosed with ADHD, mood disorder, and possible Asperger's Syndrome. Lately we are trying to decrease Abilify and titrate Carbotral. So far he is extremely(manic), aggressive and violent in the afternoons. my question i guess is, do mood stabilizers wear off at some point in the day?
1110718 tn?1258435594 They took her off the concerta and left her on the abilify because they stated that the Concerta can make children be more aggresive and irritated and she does seem a little more laid back. But what should I do besides having her on meds and taking her a therapist? I do not know what the next step would be if this continues. I feel like I do not know what to do any more to help her.
Avatar f tn t like hospitals. The Doctor put me on abilify in which I want off because of too many side effects. I guess I have to keep trying until it works permanently.

Avatar n tn It has been a horror drug in my family. My brother passed away @51 years. The known blood sugar issues from Abilify made him become very obese and his heart gave away. I am not saying it was solely Abilify but it played a big role. He took it for many years as well.
Avatar n tn t know it was the abilify is because she had started it before I got involved in her daily medications. I finally decided to ask her neuro for permission to wean her off of any meds that could have any type of psychiatric effect on her mood and personality. He agreed to allow me to taper her off of Abilify first. He didn't really think it would help, but he agreed to let me try. One week after the taper down was complete.... She "woke up". She walked into my house on Christmas eve.
Avatar m tn while i was on abilify i was very sick, it mad me hear voices. & i was throwing up and dizzy all the time that pill should not be for children or teens. it has so many side affects like you could die from it suffer sever heart attacks. but thats goverment drugs for you..

Avatar f tn The product will remain on the market, but new label information will be added about risks of accidental ingestion resulting in overdose and death in children younger than 10. Benzonatate was approved in 1958 for treatment of coughs in patients 10 and older. It is available in 100- and 200-mg dosage forms. An FDA review of adverse event reports disclosed 31 cases of overdose in children and adults, ranging in age from 1 to 66.
Avatar m tn That most probably is prolactin elevation which can cause female hormones to increase in males so that there is sexual dysfunction and pain in the nipple area. Having discharge from the nipples can occur too. I did experience that when I was on standard antipsychotics and its a common side effect. It depends on its severity. Having breast milk is rare but that can happen. It should go away in time. However keep your doctor informed and they will follow up.
Avatar m tn Who knows? All three of these drugs target at least in part the way the brain processes serotonin. The Zoloft is an ssri, and solely targets serotonin. The other two target other neurotransmitters along with serotonin. The possible danger is getting serotonin syndrome, which is an overdose basically of serotonin.

Avatar n tn A child who is a danger to themselves, and you have to child proofed you house to extreme measures to keep them safe. All I was asking if tremors are a typical side effect of Abilify in children. Not asking for criticism.
Avatar n tn He was taking all of these up until about two weeks ago and at that time, he stopped taking Abilify. He was prescribed Lamictal in lieu of Abilify, but we had to wait until we got the correct dosage before taking him off Abilify. His tics seemed to be less intense while on Abilify. Could this be my imagination since at this time the tics and more intense and prevalent?
Avatar f tn He needs a significant degree of structure and hopefully his school program is a small, highly structured, self-contained classroom for children who display serious emotional and behavioral problems. He may an increase in his Abilify. By the way, I do disagree with your conclusion that he cannot obtain the help he needs in out-of-home settings. Depending on the nature of the facility, he may well require more inpatient or residential treatment help.
Avatar n tn Having not wanting to deal with the symptoms I was switched to 20mg of Abilify. They told me the abilify would not cause any problems of sexual dysfunction, but after I started taking it the problems seemed to get worse and worse. It's got to the point where it's difficult if not sometimes impossible to obtain an erection and even harder to ejaculate. I am wondering what I can do or take to reverse these side effects?

Avatar n tn Hi, The golden rule is unless recommended by a doctor, do not take supplements, get the necessary nutrients directly from food only. Supplementation can very often overdose your body with vitamins and minerals, which can adversely affect. In your case, stop if possible, the supplements for few days and see if the symptoms go away, if so, do not take them, orelse, talk to your doctor about the symptoms.
Avatar n tn we have tried several meds. currently he is on 50 mg of vyvanse, 40 mg of citalopram and 2mg of abilify a day. his behavior is beyond horrible. should i just take him off meds?
1619437 tn?1299101911 I've been diagnosed bipolar in January 2009 after experiecing manic state. I was cured with lithium but i was not feeling well with it, i had tremors even if no overdose. So i reduced my dosis by myself telling to my doctor that i feel better that way. That was in august same year! In september it started again with hyperthymia, what was feeling great and ended up with another manic state. I did quit my job and went to Paris with very few money, without saying to anyone!
13126824 tn?1428652469 I take Zoloft and Abilify for bipolar disorder. My sugar levels were heightened due to Abilify, but I am now taking Metfforman to level out my sugar level because Abilify has the ability to heighten sugar levels. I am not a diabetic. Does cholesterol have anything to do with this cramping?
Avatar f tn I'm in so much pain. It's like Satan placed his hairy *** cheeks on my life. Last August of 2015 I stopped taking Abilify, after taking it for a year because it caused me to shake a lot, and I was worried about getting tardive dyskinesia. Also, last year I've been working hard animating and drawing daily, because i want to be an animator.
Avatar f tn Hi Dede! First, congrats on the 76 days. Way to go! I'm so sorry about your son's best friend. That is so sad, especially someone so young. I hope your son will get through this ok. It's so important for us all to remember how deadly this disease is. Please let me know, if you don't mind, if the Abilify helps. I've been taking an AD for about a year now, and like you, at first it seemed to work really well. But lately, I feel like it hasn't been helping much.
585477 tn?1218360618 but, you are not in the best place right now to be caring full-time for your children. You are vulnerable, anxious, scared, confused, hurt. And, obviously...if you are suicidal, you are not in the best frame of mind. YOU are going to change that. The BEST revenge, wanda...is living well. When, down the road you can free yourself from this man...and be happy with YOURSELF because YOU have made things good for yourself and your kids....THAT will be the Karma.
Avatar f tn I have a friend that died of an overdose. This drug contains on average of 30mg dxm per pill. You must be in another world taking that much of this drug. Coricidin also contains a drug called CPM (Chlorpheniramine Maleate) which is extremely dangerous in high doses and very lethal. You need to get to a detox NOW. This is no joke you have a family to support that can not live without their mom. Please get help. Most of the symptoms you are experiencing are w/d of dxm.
