I am soooooooo unbelievably lethargic and I have no energy or desire for anything.Not to mention my neck/shoulders are so stiff and painful accompanied by a headache. This is the most medication I have ever been on in the 17 years of diagnosis of BP with psychotic episodes and Major Clinical Depression. I feel like Im overdosed .
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?
Avatar f tn with no research on the effects of abilify on children how am I to know whether this medicine will endanger my MR adhd 9 year old child .he is also on strattera.
Avatar n tn I agree with Caregiver. Please do not wait. Call Poison Control and talk to them. Chances are all will be well, but it is important to make sure. The latest research on amoxicillian says that dosing should be done by weight, age being less important. However, it's important to not exceed the recommended dose by age, so this truly only applies to children under the maximum weight. And, as Caregiver said, the concentration is very important.
Avatar n tn Does any one take Abilify if so for what reason and does it work? my Dr. just put me on 2mg for anxity and i want true answers I just hate to take something thats not gonna work and then I have to try something else..
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 thanks for your response i believe abilify is approved for children the doctors have mentioned it to me before. The risperdal seems very heavy duty to me i would like to take care of more than one problem with one medication i will read more about abilify.
Avatar m tn The other two target other neurotransmitters along with serotonin. The possible danger is getting serotonin syndrome, which is an overdose basically of serotonin. It's not common to get it, but when you start combining meds the way you are, you also combine side effects and if you combine meds that work on the same neurotransmitter it is possible to cause serotonin syndrome, or even if you don't, too many side effects of going after the same mechanism in the brain.

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 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 f tn I took an overdose of anti depressants once, and was taken to hospital. I was given something to make me vomit up the pills. I was then given charcoal to drink but it was foul, and I only took a couple of sips. I was told it was to line my stomach, and prevent any reaction from the pills getting into my blood stream. I made a full recovery. Why did you take so many pills? All overdoses are life threatening.
Avatar f tn He does not have depressive symptoms--he gets manic and hears voices when he is stressed so we also have him on a low dose of risperidone and also Abilify (which has been our miracle drug). Mood swings are getting worse and he is getting more aggressive at home (hits walls). Besides getting him a punching bag, I wondered if anyone has had better experience with a different mood stabilizer--maybe something new? We tried tegretol with no effect when he was first diagnosed.
1619437 tn?1299101911 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! I was lucky and had a great time, excally.
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 I thought it was working at first but then all of a sudden it stopped working. So starting today doctor has added abilify. Who knows maybe it will help. Hope so. Hope everyone is well. Oh on a very sad note, my sons very best friend since junior high passed away on the 4th of July. Unfortunately he was an addict/alcoholic. The cops had picked him up for public drunkenness and schedule 2 narcotics. A few hours later he passed away in jail. His family tried everything to help him.

Avatar n tn My son is extremely hyperactive. Lately it's gotten worse. He can't even keep food down, because he is all over the place afterward. He also has some serious sensory issues. He smears poop & vomit. Would Abilify help with these issues? If not, what would? We are desperate. He hasn't kept food down for 5 days. We brought him to the ER, but there was nothing they could to do, because he isn't sick. I talked to his specialist yesterday.
Avatar f tn The Cymbalta 120mg and the abilify was 5mg before attack. After they upped her abilify to 8mg. After a few weeks, she finally got better like the doctor thought she would. The protocol has worked on quite a few people.Also if all of you recall the sample protocol worked on my younger daughter also when she developed it. In regards to what we have it is a genetic form of Dysautonomia with POTS being the main symptom among numerous others. She only passed out during TTT.
Avatar f tn This is hard isnt it to se your son feeling like this my sympathys are with you, ask your prescribing Doctor if once he is weaned off the resperdal , if you can try leaving him without meds, a lot of caring parents are now trying using food supplements to help their children, and it has been noted that a Multiple Vitamin with B Complex and Vitamin C and also Fish oil isĀ  benificial to children, if you google this there is a lot of information and look at the thread on this forum that starts &quo
