> Yes e503 My daughter was started on 10mg of Abilify because she has a very sensative system to medications. However after 1 month her pschiatrist increased it to 15mg.

> To answer further questions you have regarding Abilify go to HealthyPlace.com and click psychiatric medications.

> Now you well see where it says stay on the starting dose for at least 2 weeks but sometimes 4 weeks. It really depends on the individual. I don't know how your son's system is to medications.
>
> But again I strongly suggest to you to follow the pscyhiatrist's starting dose of 15mgs. Abilify is a very new med and they still are finding out more and more about it. So stick with the 15mg and not the 7.5mg. In the final analysis I strongly feel you well see an improvement for your son.
>
> If you do have any other questions feel free to post and I well suggest, share etc. God BlessI gave him 15 mg. tonight. Keep your fingers crossed!
