Dosing (Adults):
Bipolar disorder (acute manic or mixed episodes): Stabilization: Oral: 30 mg once daily; may require a decrease to 15 mg based on tolerability (15% of patients had dose decreased); safety of doses >30 mg/day has not been evaluated. Maintenance: Continue stabilization dose for up to 6 weeks; efficacy of continued treatment >6 weeks has not been established.

Schizophrenia: Oral: 10-15 mg once daily; may be increased to a maximum of 30 mg once daily (efficacy at dosages above 10-15 mg has not been shown to be increased). Dosage titration should not be more frequent than every 2 weeks.

Supplied: 5 mg, 10 mg, 15 mg, 20 mg, 30 mg tab. 1 mg/ml (150 ml) oral soln.


Abilify,if it does work for you,will usualy offer a light mood elevation,for example im sensative to meds and picky,i did not like it,but my friend has been stable on it for 5 years,good luck.
