Aripiprazole (Abilify)
Aripiprazole is a medication used to treat various mental disorders.
Aripiprazole belongs to a class of drugs known as atypical antipsychotics. More specifically it is classified under the category of atypical or second-generation antipsychotics.
Aripiprazole is primarily used to treat schizophrenia, a mental disorder characterized by distorted thinking, perceptions, and emotions; bipolar disorder, which involves extreme mood swings; and as an adjunct treatment for major depressive disorder, where it’s used alongside other antidepressants to enhance their effects.
Additionally, it’s sometimes used to treat irritability associated with autistic disorder in children and adolescents.
Aripiprazole works by helping to restore the balance of certain natural chemicals in the brain, known as neurotransmitters, particularly dopamine and serotonin. This balancing act helps to reduce hallucinations and improve concentration, and it can also help to decrease mood swings, improve depressed mood, and increase feelings of well-being.
The medication comes in various forms, making it easier to use for different patients and conditions. It’s available in oral tablets, an oral solution, an orally disintegrating table, and as an injectable form.
The oral tablets and solution are usually taken once a day with or without food. The exact dosage and length of treatment will depend on a variety of factors, including the condition being treated, medical history, and response to the medication.
It’s important to follow your doctor’s instructions carefully when taking aripiprazole, as sudden discontinuation or changes in dosage can lead to withdrawal symptoms or worsening of symptoms.
