how long does it take for abilify to work

Abilify (aripiprazole) usually starts to work within one to two weeks, with some early improvements in symptoms such as mood swings, irritability, or restlessness. However, it can take two to three months to experience the full therapeutic effects, especially for more serious symptoms like delusions, hallucinations, or deep depression. The time it takes to work can vary based on factors like dosage, method of administration (oral or injectable), individual metabolism, and other health conditions. For optimal results, consistent use as prescribed and regular medical follow-up are important.
