Batthy Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 hello, I take care of my autistic son 19, he is on Abilify 5mg for 4 years The therapy and family life had led him to behavior not acceptables and no other solution at this time. We live in France and no solution for autistic people here. So he is doing a lot better today, with good personnal teatchers and family life, and I wanted to remove Abilify. I realize, reading the topics here that I have made a mistake : I have remove 12 days ago the 5mg to nothing ... It results in sleep desorders, axiety, tears ...and sometine he is lauthing and 2 minutes after he is crying ... I can manage sleep desorders with melatonin but not the other withdrawal syptoms. As he has hurt his teatcher I have to take advice whether I should go back to 5mg or other solution. And maybe latter try a 10% decrease very slowly ... thanks for reading this Abilify 5mg/ day 2012- today Depakote 4x250 mg / day 2014- today 2016 : no more TERCIAN ( cyamemazine) for evening sleeping issue but Melatonin instead Link to comment
Mentor ang Posted April 9, 2016 Mentor Share Posted April 9, 2016 I am sure the moderators will arrive shortly, welcome to the site. I think they will recommend you go back to giving your son some Abilify, but it was 12 days ago now. They may recommend a lower dose. Does your son have seizures, is that why he has depakote? 1992 Dothiepin 375mg 8 weeks, exhaustion/depression. Serotonin syndrome, oh yes! seizures .

Moderator Emeritus Shep Posted April 9, 2016 Moderator Emeritus Share Posted April 9, 2016 Hi, Batthy. Welcome to the forum from me, too. Here is some information that may help regarding reinstating: About reinstating and stabilizing to reduce withdrawal symptoms I would consider having your son reinstate, but please work closely with the moderators on this. Also, I've been on a drug combination that involved combining Depakote with an antipsychotic, and there can be drug interactions. Please place all of your son's medications in this drug interaction checker, as this may help guide you in how to best proceed: Drug Interactions Checker -- use it to reduce your drug burden I'm glad you're here asking questions on your son's behalf. He's very lucky to have you as an advocate. Link to comment
