My 15 yr son was started on 5mg of Abilify and 5 mg of Lexapro after his first episode. This was a bad combo for him. I really don't think he slept at all for the 2 weeks he was on it. He didn't eat much either. The Doc switched him to Zyprexa and he slept like a log and ate also. He gained back the sleep and weight he lost on the Abilify combo. There is good news too, after 2 weeks on Zyprexa his eating habits gradually returned to normal as well as his sleep schedule (8-10 hrs). He was having panic attacks for which the Doc perscribed .25 Klonapin every 12 hrs. In 1 week has gone to eating full meals from when he started his first panic attacks a week and a half ago he would only drink part of a shake for fear of choking. Much progress thanks to AD meds.
