Autism
"My autistic 12 year old son was put on a low dose of Abilify in August 2012 to help with mood swings and anxiety.  His emotions stabilized beautifully, but he gained an excessive amount of weight and an extreme increase in appetite. In a matter of 5 months he went from  100 pounds to 139 pounds.  We&#039;ve had to stop the Abilify and find an alternative so we can work on getting him to a healthier BMI."
