There is currently no suggestion of any link between aripiprazole use in pregnancy and birth defects in general, or heart defects specifically in the baby. Studies of over 10,000 women who used any type of antipsychotic during pregnancy also do not collectively raise alarm of a link with birth defects.

Dear Mr. Dhawan, Any particular molecule cant be claimed as superior as response varies from person to person. One agent that is good for a particular person may not work that well for other. However, clozapine is one molecule that is considered superior to all others in resistant cases and is generally given when other medicines fail. Partial agonists such as aripiprazole have a less side effects but sometimes efficacy is found wanting. Your patient will need evaluation and appropriate suggesti...more

Was it prescribed by a psychiatrist, how did you get hold of this medication, which is an atypical antipsychotic and needs to be given very carefully. If the psychiatrist has prescribed, kindly take as he may evaluated you before prescribing. All the best.

Sexual dysfunction is a common condition in patients taking antipsychotics, and is the most bothersome symptom and adverse drug effect, resulting in a negative effect on treatment compliance. It is known that hyperprolactinemia is a major cause of sexual dysfunction. Based on the blockade of dopamine d2 receptors, haloperidol, risperidone, and amisulpride are classed as prolactin-elevating antipsychotics, while olanzapine, clozapine, quetiapine, ziprasidone, and aripiprazole are classed as prola...more

Hello lybrate-user,
the abnormality in datscan is suggestive of dopamine depletion. So your tremors might be related to parkinsons disease. The therapy you are taking needs to be discussed in detail. I would recommend stopping aripiprazole.
And rest of the medicines need to be streamlined. Its better if you consult a neurologist in person or on video call to assess your tremors.
Please feel free to contact for further queries.

Hello there are multiple ways to augment a drugs benefits. L methyl folate provides for a unique neurotransmitter substrate, which helps you uplift mood. So, if you are 80% better with paroxetine cr, you should discuss about augmentation with low dose antipsychotic medication like quetiapine, aripiprazole. Alternatively, find a good psychologist & take concurrent cognitive behaviour therapy sessions. All in all, any augmentation strategy should show it's benefits in 2 weeks time.
