Abilify And Chronic Pain Relief (Top voted first)

Hello,

Has anyone experienced a relief in chronic pain while on Abilify. I am convinced it is this medication that relieved my chronic neck pain. This has given me the idea it might help my mother who is on a daily dose of morphine. I want to bring this up to her Dr but don't want to sound crazy. What do you think? Is it possible?

Aripiprazole is one of the drugs used for chronic pain management. Not just by mouth, but, is also available transdermally. It can also be in a pain cream to be used topically.

Antipsychotic use in people who are not schizophrenic can cause psychosis. I wouldn’t use this for pain. Leave your mother alone if she is ok on her pain meds. You realize there are dangerous side effects to this medication right? My mother committed suicide on an antipsychotic and she wasn’t suicidal prior to taking the medication.

Hello, Mila! How are you and your mom?

It is not a recognized effect of Abilify, so such use hasn't been approved, but yes, it is possible. Most psychiatric medications have been shown to have an affect on some types of pain.

I can't say whether or not it will help your mother, that depends on what is causing her pain, however, there is a chance it could help.

Are there any other questions or concerns?

Thanks for your reply.

I’m taking Abilify for depression too. I believe the good is outdoing bad!! I’ve already been taken available for about two weeks. Maybe the side effects will disappear I hope.
