Aripiprazole is the first next-generation atypical antipsychotic. The unique actions of aripiprazole in humans are likely a combination of "functionally selective" activation of D(2) (and possibly D(3))-dopamine receptors and serotonin 5-HT(1A) receptors, coupled with inhibition of 5-HT(2A) receptors. Aripiprazole was approved by FDA (Abilify trade name) for the treatment of schizophrenia; manic and mixed episodes associated with bipolar I disorder; major depressive disorder; irritability associated with autistic disorder; Tourette’s disorder and agitation associated with schizophrenia or bipolar mania.

Sample Use Guides
In adults with schizophrenia the recommended starting and target dose for aripiprazole (ABILIFY) is 10 or 15 mg/day. In adolescents the target dose is 10 mg/day. In adults with Bipolar I Disorder, the recommended starting dose is 15 mg given once daily as monotherapy and 10 mg to 15 mg given once daily as adjunctive therapy with lithium or valproate. In pediatric patients (10 to 17 years) with Bipolar I Disorder, the starting dose as monotherapy is 2 mg/day, with titration to 5 mg/day after 2 days, and a target dose of 10 mg/day after 2 additional days. In adults with Major Depressive Disorder, the recommended starting dose as adjunctive treatment for patients already taking an antidepressant is 2 to 5 mg/day. The recommended dosage range is 2 to 15 mg/day. In pediatric patients with Irritability Associated with Autistic Disorder, dosing should be initiated at 2 mg/day. The dose should be increased to 5 mg/day, with subsequent increases to 10 or 15 mg/day if needed. In pediatric patient with Tourette’s Disorder, the recommended dosage is 5 to 20 mg/day. In adults with Agitation Associated with Schizophrenia or Bipolar Mania, the recommended dose is 9.75 mg. The recommended dosage range is 5.25 to 15 mg.
