Lightbulb please

make sure they do a blood sugar on him. (fasting).

Or a glucose tolerance test. Abilify raises blood sugar and may
cause diabetes. Diabetes symptoms are weakness in muscles, fatigue, and excessive thirst. His complaints may be due to that, and peds don't always check for type II diabetes in a young person. (they should, because it is becoming common in this age group among teens who DON'T take atypical antipsychotics like Abilify.)
