Frequently Asked Questions
Is aripiprazole the same as Abilify?
Aripiprazole is the generic name for Abilify. They are bioequivalent — same active ingredient at the same dose. Generic costs $20–$60/month; brand can exceed $900.
How does aripiprazole compare to quetiapine?
Both are atypical antipsychotics. Aripiprazole is considered activating (less sedating), while quetiapine is more sedating. Your psychiatrist selects based on symptoms and side-effect profile.
Does aripiprazole cause weight gain?
Aripiprazole causes less metabolic side effects (weight gain, glucose changes) than many other antipsychotics like olanzapine or quetiapine — a reason it is often preferred.
What is the cheapest atypical antipsychotic?
Risperidone and haloperidol generics are typically the cheapest antipsychotics at $10–$20/month. Aripiprazole, quetiapine, and olanzapine generics are also affordable at $20–$50/month.
How can Script Unlock help me afford aripiprazole?
Aripiprazole is already very affordable as a generic. Script Unlock pharmacies can often beat chain pharmacy cash prices by $10–$20/month — worthwhile if you pay out-of-pocket.
