A member asked:

Im on zoloft 100mg doc change risperidone to abilify (aripiprazole) 2mg 5 days ago but i dont feel fine haw meny days take to notice positive effects?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Dosage: do have the provider following the effects of change in medications. The new med may requier a higher dose to take effect. Or you may need something else - but it's too soon tobe sure of that. Check in with the provider.
