my 6 year old daughter has been on abilify on and off for about 8 months and has been experiencing bed wetting at night. she is on a 2.5 mg dose and never wet her bed before so i dont understand this. she is also now over weight but didn't start gaining till she was put on zyprexa but before on zyprexa was on the abilify, so i dont know what really started the weight gain. she gains about 2 lbs 1-2 weeks intervals. ahhh someone please give me some advice
Propsguy - how about taking her off all the drugs and just letting her be a 6 year old girl. what does she need abilify and zyprexa for? if she's hyperactive or tense, get the crap out of her diet and make sure she gets some real activity in sunshine and fresh air
Nikki020688 - She has bipolar disorder... And if u knew what that was you would know how dibilitating it can be especially for a 6 year old.
Propsguy - but too many kids are being diagnosed with this these days. have you taken her to a naturopath? i am convinced that a lot of these problems with children are a result of diet and chemical exposure. it's worth a shot
Skb33 - propsguy.....don't judge until you have walked in ones shoes! These conditions are very serious in young children. I also have a 6 year old that has ADHD, ODD, and an unspecified mood disorder. It is not because of what she eats or not getting fresh air. I invite you to spend a few days with a child of this nature and see what you have to day after that. Remember....the child is a miserable being on the inside and cannot control what is going on in their brain!
Teresa1964 - I know where it's coming from.....sad to say. Remember the stomach is the second brain.....keep feeding it more otc, prescription drugs, etc. and you will ruin the balance....it strips all the good stuff we need, it takes alot of time to recover (if ever) and I'm not trying to be gloomy....its the truth. Honestly I wish Doctors and Pharma would just come clean, its so sad to put people in this position of doubting themselves and their precious children~ Mother of Mike recovering Flagyl victim Feb 2008
