Specializes in Psychiatry

Abilify (aripiprazole): Abilify (aripiprazole) is an antipsychotic medication which can help with bipolar disorder -- including both manic and depressive phases. It sounds like your psychiatrist may be gradually changing your medications (increasing one while decreasing the other) so that you have better symptom control overall. Could your husband attend your next appointment with you, so that you both can talk with your psychiatrist?
