[|Human|] My 14 yr. old autistic daughter was put on abilify about 5 or 6 months ago. A couple of months ago Prozac now up to 20 mg. was added. Abilify is 5 mg. In the last 2 weeks she has had extreme aggression...I mean extreme. If she could kill me she probably would....that s the look I get as she attacks me. I m just now reading that Prozac added to Abilify can make the side effects from Abilify much worse. Any help to a hopeless mom would be great!
[|AI|]  Hi, Thanks for writing to Chat Doctor. Sometimes 2 antipsychotics added can cause over aggression. Prozac (fluoxetine) is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI) antidepressant, and Abilify (aripiprazole is also an antipsychotic medication. It works by changing the actions of chemicals in the brain. The way it works is a bit confusing but, there are 3 ways envisaged, and I would not like to confuse you with them. Maybe it's apt to have her consulted with her psychiatrist or an adolescent specialist. The mood swing may be also a part of PUBERTY. I hope you find this helpful. Thanks. If you have any more queries I am happy to answer them. Else, please rate this answer and close the discussion.
