Posted on Thu, 24 Oct 2019
Question: Hi have a 15 yr old on 60mg prozac for over a year now and started Abilfy about four months ago. Abilfy really controlled about 98 percent of the rage and anger issues
But still some issues extreme anxiety and social issues so raised from 15 to 20 on abilfiy
I also started her on a probiotic and B12 but
She is vocalizing she is more nervous
And crying for no reason and used the word sad
She doesnt know why
And eating less
Her anxiety is so bad right now stopped going to school
Wondering what is happening?

Brief Answer:
Mood stabilizers are required

Detailed Answer:
Hello Ma'am

I can certainly understand your concern.

I have worked through your attached Question in detail.

These symptoms possibly represent a mood disorder.

It's advisable to start a mood stabilizer agent at the earliest to control the mood abd anger issues.

These mood stabilizers can be initiated at a low dose and can be titrated upwards gradually.

Post your further questions if any.
Thank you.
