Hi sara,

My own ds (7) is on focalin. He is on risperdal only as when he was on abilify he was one of the very rare cases where it triggered weight gain. However, when on it his moods were night and day. I know several other ladies here also have their kids on abilify, and had good results. Hope that helps.

Sara,


We switched over to Abilify about two years ago because DS started gaining a lot of weight after being on Risperdal for about two years.


The school noticed a change in behaviors within a couple of weeks.

I do know what you mean about Risperdal.
