My son is 20 and autistic. on Jan 5 he had his first siezure and it was a gran mal. He has been on abilify for behavoirs but i have since removed him from the abilify due to it having possible seizure as side effect. Since then his behavior has been horrible , screaming, tantruming all day. Are t here any other drugs he can be put on that have the same effects as abilify but do not have seizure as side effect?
Are there any antipsychotic drugs that do not have siezure as possible side effect?
