Hello,

my pdoc has prescribed me aripriprazole and it's the only anti-psychotic I have been taking, does it related to schizophrenia or something else? currently my pdoc is only giving me some anti-depressant and etizolam to control my anxiety.

I was prescribed it as an antidepressant and antipsychotic. I have depressive psychosis and it absolutely helps get rid of low level hallucinations, but I can’t say if it stops actual full blown psychotic episodes since I never remember them.
