Abilify (aripiprazole) and bipolar : Not quite sure if you were asking about managing/treating bipolar of if you had concerns about increased Abilify (aripiprazole), (aripiprazole) so I provided an informational links in the comments. Also if you have concerns about the recent increase in Abilify (aripiprazole) I would encourage you to talk with your prescribing provider. If you would prefer a second opinion you might consider a consult with a healthTap psychiatrist. Be well.

Please clarify: Not sure what you are asking. Do you have a question about Abilify, (aripiprazole) eg. your recent dose increase, or about bipolar disorder in general? Please resubmit with a specific question so we may better respond. Thanks for using Healthtap. All the best.
