Hi. My son has been taking Risperdal for 2 years now (Dominic 8 1/2 aspie). While he's done great with it, the affects seem to be fading off and we don't want to just keep increasing it. I recently came across a post elsewhere asking about Abilify. I wondered if anyone here has used it? Just looking for feedback, good or bad. thanks!

We switched Chris (AS, 14) from Risperdal to Abilify about two years ago. We have had no negative side effects with it, and it seems to be working just fine for him.

We had the very odd side effect of weight gain on abilify, other than that it did help. We had to take him off only due to weight gain.

David is on Abilify, and it works well for him.
