Got into an arguement with my 14 year olf yesterday.....sounds so silly but true. Arguing with a 14 yo.....just doesn't know when to keep his mouth shut and just do what is asked of him, which isn't much at all. Not sure i can handle 4 more years of this shit. Just got over doing it with my oldest son!!! Tristan said some hurtful things to me yesterday, told me that I was crazy, blamed me for my oldest son moving out, though he doesn't know the half of it. Try not to let it pull me down but it makes me sad to know that is really how he is thinking and I can't do a whole lot about it. Just feeling kinda bummed, and it's this restlessness that I have is REALly getting to me....feeling like I need to peel my skin off....the pdoc will just lower the abilify but when he does then it's not enough and I backslide. Just have to stay occupied and keep moving...hard though when I feel physically more tired today.

I\'m sorry, Debbie :( I remember my son at 14. Wow, did we argue sometimes, and he said similar things to me.
I hope a med tweak will help you feel less \"restless\". I think that Tristan probably doesn\'t Believe a lot of the things he says, but his feelings are all mixed up, and you\'re the person he feels he can unload on.
*Many hugs* :(
I\'m sorry your day went like that but at the same time, it sounds about par for the course when dealing with kids that age. I know it hurts.
As Shakespeare said, \"How sharper than a serpent\'s tooth it is to have a thankless child\".
I hear more and more people have that same complaint about Abilify, it seems. I wonder if maybe it\'s time for a different med for you. Whatever the answer is, I hope you find it!!!
Take good care!!! ((((((((Hugs))))))))
Thanks so much ladies.....your input made me feel alot better and I will try to keep what you\'ve said in mind while going through these things. ox
It\'s no fun to argue with a teenager. Especially one that doesn\'t know the whole story. Things will even out. He loves you. I\'m sorry that it has bummed you out. It sounds like you have Akathasia. Does he give you something for it? He should.I felt that for two days when I first started Abilify. It is an awful feeling. I feel for you.
