Entirely possible. : Depends on the reason you are taking it. Abilify (aripiprazole) has numerous fda approved uses when taken by itself including schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Carefully review with your clinician the pros vs. Cons of its use. That said, I have found a, when used appropriately, to be helpful even life changing. Monitor weight, lipids, blood sugar, prolactin, and abnormal movements. Good luck, dr. Dave.

Use as an adjunct.: You are diagnosed w anxiety disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder & post traumatic stress disorder & you receive behavioral therapy. Abilify (aripiprazole) is not a solo medication for these conditions. It is always appropriate for severe dissociation uch as flashbacks. It can also be used for mood disorders. An ssri would be important to address your anxiety related disorders. I would not use it as a solo.
