Yep, I've come here for advice re: our dau and folks have been helpful and kind.

She started Abilify a long time ago...I think we were lowering Serqouel significantly.

In her case, it caused an upset stomach initially.

So, we had to re-start at a slightly lower dosage for the first day or two. We also had her take something for her stomach for the first week. That did the trick.

Abilify has been a helpful medication for her with little or no weight gain.
