Did you taper off slowly for several weeks or just stop suddenly? I know as an adult when I switch from one SSRI to another or want to stop all together my doc has had me cut dose in half for a few weeks, then go to every other day for several weeks, then every 2-3 days, until I get down to none at all. Usually takes me a good two months to taper. Then I start a new one about 2 weeks after none at all.
Anxiety, sadness usually comes on within a few days of taper and is very obvious to my family.
I do not take anything else with it, so not sure if the Abilify alone without the SSRI may be part of your childs moodiness. Good luck and hugs.
