Awful drug..Side effects of crying.urinating in pants,severe aggression .... ## My son is 24. He has Down Syndrome and has been taking Paxil for years. He recently started Abilify 2 mg for aggression/irritability/anxiety/shaking. He is crying now and NEVER cries. It is heartbreaking. He is very sad. ## Have you contacted his doctor? Abilify, which is an antipsychotic containing the active ingredient Aripiprazole, is not the right medication for everyone to use. It really sounds like it is having a negative effect on him and his doctor might need to switch him to something else. ## My 14 year old daughter has Autism. She has been on Zoloft for years. Her Doctor added Abilify several months ago. I wish we had not gone down this road. She has always suffered from anxiety but now has develo...

Can I take diet supplements while I'm taking mental health meds such as latuda, buspirone, doxepin and aripiprazole? ## Hello, Bobby! How are you? It really depends on what supplements you want to take, some are safe, according to FDA reports, and some are not. Can you please post back with more details? The NIH warns that some supplements can cause a possibly dangerous condition called Serotonin Syndrome, when mixed with some supplements and herbal products, this condition has been known to be fatal, in some cases. ## Oh please talk to your doctor. Those are some heavy duty meds and any supplements that affect dopamine will probably be problematic.

I need a pill identified. It is a small, round, white pill with a 10 on one side and an 18 on the other. There is nothing about it on the internet and I'm having a really hard time successfully uncovering ANYTHING about it. I would really appreciate some help. May be a foreign pill perhaps? Not sure. ## This tablet is manufactured by Torrent Pharmaceuticals and they list it as containing 10mgs of Aripiprazole. The FDA classifies this medication as an atypical antipsychotic that is most commonly used to treat bipolar disorder and major depression. Its typical side effects may possibly include high blood sugar, weight gain, headache, nausea and constipation. Is there anything else I can help with?

My mother has Parkinson's (we think) was on Sinimet and Carbadopaleva and they took her off of that and now put her on Abilify and Ultram and now she can't talk suddenly and cries and is suicidal. For 3 years we have felt she's been overdrugged. Her mind is OK until they pump more drugs in her. ## Low Dose Abilify increases dopamine and increases mood. High dose abilify blocks dopamine. It sounds like the doctor needs to reconsider the dose ASAP. See Below: How Abilify works: Burris KD, Molski TF, Xu C, Ryan E, Tottori K, Kikuchi T, Yocca FD, Molinoff PB.
