Abilify (aripiprazole) and light : Many medications can cause light sensitivity. If it is only light aversion, may be sunglasses and decreased time outdoors when it is bright would help. If it is easy sunburning, topical lotions and covering your body may help. If ineffective, consider switching agents or look at other possible causes like supplements, vitamins, new detergents, or other meds.
