Abilify Aripiprazole | 10mg | Tablet | Active |
Low-dose Aripiprazole is used as an add-on when an antidepressant alone has not given enough response.
Akathisia (a feeling of inner restlessness) can happen, especially early. Tell the prescriber — there are options.
We can support patients on long-acting injections in coordination with the prescriber and clinic.
