Aripiprazole ~~(Abilify)~~

{{headerpanel|{{Approval}}}}

Aripiprazole is a atypical antipsychotic. It ~~works by modulating~~ serotonin and ~~dopamine~~ levels in the ~~brain~~.

'''Aripiprazole''' (branded as '''Abilify''', '''Aristada''' among others) is an atypical [[psychoactive class::antipsychotic]] approved for the treatment of schizophrenia, [[psychosis]], bipolar disorder, and along with an antidepressant to treat major depressive disorder.

==History and culture==

Aripiprazole, developed by Otsuka Pharmaceutical and marketed as Abilify among others, was first approved in Japan in 2002 and subsequently in the United States. It was a novel development in the field of atypical [[antipsychotics]], primarily intended for schizophrenia and bipolar disorder treatment. Over time, its use expanded to include treatment of major depressive disorder and [[irritability]] in autism spectrum disorders.

==Chemistry==

Aripiprazole is a synthetic substance of the quinolinone class and is structurally distinct from other atypical antipsychotics. Its molecular formula is C23H27Cl2N3O2, and it has a unique mechanism of action as a dopamine-serotonin system stabilizer.

==Pharmacology==

Aripiprazole's primary mechanism involves acting as a [[agonist|partial agonist]] at [[dopamine]] D2 and D3 receptors and [[serotonin|serotonin 5-HT1A]] receptors, while also serving as an [[antagonist]] at [[serotonin|serotonin 5-HT2A]] receptors. This dual action contributes to its efficacy in treating both the positive and negative symptoms of schizophrenia. It also exhibits moderate affinity for [[histamine]], [[adrenergic]], and muscarinic receptors, contributing to some of its side effects.

==Subjective effects==

{{effects/base

|{{effects/physical|

Physical effects of Aripiprazole can vary but generally include:

* '''[[Effect::Sedation]]''' - A common effect, manifesting as general lethargy or sleepiness.

* '''[[Effect::Weight gain]]''' - Often reported, especially with long-term use.

* '''[[Effect::Nausea]]'''

* '''[[Effect::Constipation]]'''

* '''[[Effect::Headache]]''' - Some users may experience mild to moderate headaches.

* '''[[Effect::Dizziness]]''' - Particularly when standing up quickly or moving suddenly.

* '''[[Effect::Restlessness]]''' - A feeling of needing to move, sometimes known as akathisia.

* '''[[Effect::Tremors]]''' - Minor shaking, especially in the hands.

* '''[[Effect::Dry mouth]]''' - A decrease in saliva production.

}}

|{{effects/cognitive|

Cognitive effects of Aripiprazole can include:

* '''[[Effect::Focus intensification]]''' - Beneficial in conditions with attention deficits.

* '''[[Effect::Analysis suppression]]''' - A feeling of reduced cognitive sharpness.

*'''[[Effect::Thought deceleration]]'''

* '''[[Effect::Decreased hallucinations]]''' - Particularly effective in reducing auditory hallucinations in psychosis.

* '''[[Effect::Emotion suppression]]''' - Helps in mood stabilization, especially in bipolar disorder.

*'''[[Effect::Sleepiness]]'''

* '''[[Effect::Anxiety suppression]]''' - Can lower general anxiety levels.

* '''[[Effect::Insomnia]]''' - Difficulty falling or staying asleep in some individuals.

* '''[[Effect::Memory suppression|Short-term memory suppression]]''' - In rare cases, may affect short-term memory.

}}

==Experience reports==

There are a limited number of experience reports for Aripiprazole given its medical usage, but some can be found in the [[experience index]] and on external platforms like Erowid.

==Toxicity and harm potential==

Although generally safe at therapeutic doses, Aripiprazole overdose can lead to severe symptoms like seizures, vomiting, and agitation. Long-term use may increase the risk of metabolic syndrome.

===Lethal dosage===

The lethal dosage of Aripiprazole is not well-established, but it is considered to have a high therapeutic index.

===Tolerance and addiction potential===

Aripiprazole has a low potential for abuse and addiction. Tolerance development is minimal.

===Dangerous interactions===

Aripiprazole should not be combined with other substances that depress the central nervous system, such as alcohol, benzodiazepines, or opioids.

==Legal status==

Aripiprazole is a prescription medication in many countries. Its legal status varies, but it is generally regulated and available only with a doctor's prescription.
