Used For:

Aripiprazole is an atypical antipsychotic medication used to treat schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and major depressive disorder (when used in combination with other antidepressants). It is also prescribed for irritability associated with autism spectrum disorder and as an adjunctive treatment for Tourette syndrome. Aripiprazole works by balancing the activity of neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin in the brain, which helps regulate mood, behavior, and thought processes.

Side Effects:

Common side effects of aripiprazole include drowsiness, anxiety, restlessness, insomnia, dizziness, and nausea. It may also cause weight gain, constipation, and headaches. Rare but serious side effects include tardive dyskinesia (involuntary movements), high blood sugar, increased risk of stroke (especially in elderly patients with dementia-related psychosis), and seizures. Some individuals may also experience changes in their mood or behavior, including increased suicidal thoughts.

Precautions:

Aripiprazole should be used cautiously in individuals with a history of diabetes, cardiovascular problems, seizures, or liver issues. It is important to monitor weight, blood sugar, and cholesterol levels during treatment, as aripiprazole may affect metabolic functions. Due to the risk of movement disorders, it should be used carefully in patients with a history of movement disorders or who are at risk for them. Abrupt discontinuation of aripiprazole may lead to withdrawal symptoms, so it is recommended to taper the dose gradually under a healthcare provider’s guidance. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their healthcare provider before using aripiprazole, as it may pose risks to the fetus or infant.
