Hi - my DS has been on abilify for about 3 months now. Lately, he has been having a hard time with his school work. Specifically, spelling and language arts. He does have a communication disorder, but never seemed to have a hard time like this before. I don't know if it is truly getting to be too hard for him or if the abilify is giving him "brain fog". I have also noted that his handwriting has gone from bad to worse since he started taking it. He is also on Luvox, but he was on that before without suffering any problems in school.
My question, for those of you who have taken or are taking abilify is can it cause memory problems or "brain fog". Or anything else that could explain his recent behavior? The biggest problem I have is that he really can't articulate to me how he feels. All he'll say is "it's too hard". It breaks my heart.
