My son has been complaining about dizzyness since we uped his dose of abilify he takes it with zoloft he is 12 years old I myself not really comfortable with him taking it I took it as an adult with zoloft but it did nothing for me I haven't really noticed a difference in his behavior. I'm gonna call his Dr just to be safe but if my gut don't feel right bout what he says I'll just do what u think us best cause who knows our kids better then us.

It is NOT only our children. The pharmaceutics have control on the drs!
The drugs are getting stronger and people are starting them at a younger age! I acted out a lot from 8 to 14 and I did not get rushed to the dr or the psychologist and get pills heck NO I GOT MY ass whooped! What is wrong with America?? WAKE UP PEOPLE!!

Our 16 year old committed suicide while on Abilify and I don't know whether it had anything to do with it, but I have read articles that they recommend not prescribing this to kids under 24.

stop medicating children! this is ridiculous. I work at a hospital in a small community and everyday there are children in the emergency room with suicidal ideations. the common denominator with every one is psych meds!! Abilify, Zoloft, Prozac, etc it doesn't take a person of very much intelligence to make the connection.

Re: Momofmany (# 5)

I appreciate you input on Abilify. A relative of 12 yrs Old was put on this, I am so concerned for him but the parents really pushed the doctor to try it. Children are at the mercy of parents. What can someone like me do? I am more concerned about the child’s future years then they are. Suggestions welcomed.
