In reply to sedation-which med?, posted by e503 on April 29, 2003, at 19:06:53
> ben started abilify a little over a week ago. started on 15 mg. but he was a zombie, so we decreased to 7.5 and he was much better for a few days. today he comes home from school and falls asleep - never happened before. he is also taking 900 mg. trileptal, (300 mg. 3 x a day), and zoloft 75 mg. a.m. I have been thinking of taking him off trileptal, if the abilify works, as the trileptal never really did anything for him- until he started the abilify. So I am wondering , which med is causing this sedation? Could the abilify just be kicking in and it is now, in combination with the trileptal, causing sedation? Any thoughts?
> thanks,
> elisecan anyone help? I can't figure out which way to go here! Ben was excellent this a.m. at school....best ever- and when he got home he seemed really really obsessive and kind of active, so I gave him 300 mg. trileptal. It helped calm him down , but still really obsessed and kind of pretty quiet. I am so confused about what med is causing his sedation.....would this happen with abilify this long after he started it? HELP!
