Abilify - Good for schizophrenia?

Posted by SLS on February 22, 2009, at 13:49:22

I read something today that suggested Abilify was only partially beneficial for schizophrenia.

The author explained that this is because Abilify is a partial agonist rather than a full antagonist at D2 receptors.

Does anyone have any stories they would like to relate regarding the use of Abilify in schizophrenia?

i don't have the schizophrenia, but most every pdoc comment on it i've read is basically 'doesn't work for schiz, but might help for other stuff and patients prefer not being ballooned up for some reason'
