My son is 24. He has Down Syndrome and has been taking Paxil for years. He recently started Abilify 2 mg for aggression/irritability/anxiety/shaking. He is crying now and NEVER cries. It is heartbreaking. He is very sad.

Have you contacted his doctor?

Abilify, which is an antipsychotic containing the active ingredient Aripiprazole, is not the right medication for everyone to use.

It really sounds like it is having a negative effect on him and his doctor might need to switch him to something else.

My 14 year old daughter has Autism. She has been on Zoloft for years. Her Doctor added Abilify several months ago. I wish we had not gone down this road. She has always suffered from anxiety but now has developed severe socialized anxiety to the point of not being able to even tolerate close family to visit. Tapering her off NOW!!
