We went to a new doctor recently. We talked to him about our son's bad experiences on Straterra. Right now he is on a small concerta dose which is helping only a little bit with impulsivity. A bigger dose would help more, but it makes him way too flat. We've tried other stimulants, as well as tenex and clonidine.
This doctor was retty confident that my son is not bipolar, but suggested that abilify might still help him with impulse control.
I have never heard of anyone going on abilify for adhd. :confused: So my questions are: is this an effective drug for impulse control, and how safe is it for a 12 y.o. to take?
