Abilify is an antipsychotic medication that works by helping to restore the balance of certain natural chemicals in the brain (neurotransmitters). It is commonly used to treat conditions such as manic and mixed episodes in bipolar disorder, as well as an adjunctive treatment for major depressive disorder and Tourette’s disorder.
Abilify can help manage symptoms like mood swings, irritability, and hallucinations, making it an effective option for individuals dealing with severe mental health conditions. The medication is available in tablet, disintegrating tablet, and liquid forms, offering various administration options depending on patient needs and preferences.
It is essential to follow your doctor’s instructions when taking Abilify to achieve the best outcomes. Regular monitoring and follow-up appointments with your healthcare provider can help ensure the medication is working effectively and allow for timely adjustments if necessary.
Abilify has several FDA-approved uses, but it can also be prescribed off-label for other conditions. If you have any questions about why a medication is prescribed, feel free to ask your online doctor. We at Reimagine encourage open discussion regarding treatment plans and we want our patients to be well informed.
Bipolar Disorder is a mental health condition that causes extreme mood swings, including emotional highs (mania or hypomania) and lows (depression). Abilify (aripiprazole) is FDA-approved to treat manic and mixed episodes in bipolar disorder, helping to stabilize mood and reduce symptoms such as irritability, increased energy, and rapid thought patterns.
Tourette's Disorder is a neurological condition characterized by repetitive, involuntary movements and vocalizations called tics. Abilify (aripiprazole) helps in mitigating these symptoms, reducing the frequency and severity of both motor and vocal tics.
Abilify can be prescribed off-label to help manage symptoms of OCD. It aids in reducing obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors by modulating dopamine and serotonin levels in the brain.
Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is a debilitating mental health condition characterized by persistent feelings of sadness and a lack of interest in life. Abilify (aripiprazole) is used as an adjunctive treatment for MDD to enhance the therapeutic effect of primary antidepressant medications, helping to improve mood and alleviate depressive symptoms.
Your psychiatrist will give you detailed instructions on how to take your Abilify prescription. You can also ask your pharmacist if you have further questions.
Be sure to read and follow the directions on your prescription label. If you have any questions, contact your doctor or pharmacist.
Abilify is available in different forms and doses, so it’s important to adhere to the specific instructions provided. For instance, the medication could be taken once daily with or without food. Always follow your provider’s guidance for optimal results.
Abilify may cause various side effects, most of which are generally mild and related to physical discomfort. Side effects include nausea, vomiting, constipation, headache, dizziness, and drowsiness. Many side effects that appear when an individual first starts taking the medication often go away after the first two to three weeks. Some individuals may also experience sleep disturbances, weight gain, or restlessness while taking Abilify. From our experience, abilify tends to be one of the best tolerated antipsychotics, hence being one of the most commonly prescribed.
Less frequently, more severe side effects can occur, although they are rare. These may include symptoms indicative of neuroleptic malignant syndrome such as high fever, muscle stiffness, confusion, sweating, fast or uneven heartbeats. This syndrome is a serious condition requiring immediate medical attention.
Other less common but potentially severe side effects of Abilify might include seizures, uncontrollable muscle movements particularly in the face or neck (tardive dyskinesia), and signs of high blood sugar such as increased thirst, frequent urination, or extreme hunger.
If you experience any severe side effects or notice new or concerning symptoms, it is crucial to seek immediate medical attention. Always consult your healthcare provider if you have questions or concerns about the side effects of Abilify.
Abilify may interact with other medications and supplements. Always consult your doctor before changing your medication regimen, including over-the-counter drugs.
Check with your doctor or pharmacist before consuming alcohol while taking Abilify. Regular alcohol use may increase side effects and reduce the medication's effectiveness.
Consult your doctor before stopping Abilify. Abrupt discontinuation can lead to withdrawal symptoms that can be very uncomfortable.
