Drug Information
17 reviews for Aripiprazole (Abilify)
Abilify contains Aripiprazole.
Aripiprazole is an antipsychotic medicine. It is used for schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, and as an add-on for depression when an antidepressant alone is not enough.
It is less likely than many similar medicines to cause weight gain or sleepiness.
What is it used for?
- Schizophrenia in adults and teenagers
- Mania in bipolar disorder
- Add-on treatment for depression
- Irritability in autism and Tourette's syndrome (some countries)
How does it work?
Aripiprazole balances the effects of dopamine and serotonin, two chemical messengers in the brain. It turns dopamine activity down where it is too high and up where it is too low.

Common side effects

- Uncontrollable movements of the face, tongue or body

If you miss a dose: Take it as soon as you remember, unless it is nearly time for your next dose. Never take two doses at once.
