My son is nine years old, he has ADHD, Tourettes and a learning disability. His tics are constant so they have recently put him on Abilify to help suppress them. He also takes Adderall and Catapress. I would like to know if anyone else has used this drug Abilify for this purpose and how it worked.

Hi C's mom,

Sorry, I haven't had experience using Abilify to supress tics.

Hopefully someone else can write you.

Regards,

Christina
