autism
"The doctor of my 13 year old autistic daughter put her on 5mg of Abilify last October.  The first three months were great. Her mood swings decreased. She was less destructive and it was a lot quieter at home and in school.  We started seeing the behaviors coming back a little at a time.  At month 7, the behaviors were back full swing and much worse than they were before she was put on Abilify.  She also gained 42 pounds and we couldn't keep her out of food unless we locked the cabinets and refrigerator. She has been off of Abilify since mid July and her behavior has turned around completely.  Now she is on an "as needed" medicine that we only give her when we see a meltdown coming, and that is not very often."
