Since he wasn't like this before the Abilify, my guess would point to the abilify causing the brain fog. What dose is he at? Could you ask the doctor to see about lowering the dose? I believe a lower dose would help with the brain fog.
I took Abilify (10mg) myself, and I was in a bit of a daze. It seemed like my thoughts were more blocked. I couldn't generate any 'will' to do things, and my actions were more robotic. I had some other side effects as well.
> Hi - my DS has been on abilify for about 3 months now. Lately, he has been having a hard time with his school work. Specifically, spelling and language arts. He does have a communication disorder, but never seemed to have a hard time like this before. I don't know if it is truly getting to be too hard for him or if the abilify is giving him "brain fog". I have also noted that his handwriting has gone from bad to worse since he started taking it. He is also on Luvox, but he was on that before without suffering any problems in school.

> My question, for those of you who have taken or are taking abilify is can it cause memory problems or "brain fog". Or anything else that could explain his recent behavior? The biggest problem I have is that he really can't articulate to me how he feels. All he'll say is "it's too hard". It breaks my heart.
