Before starting aripiprazole, tell your doctor about any medical conditions, allergies, or other prescription drugs or over-the-counter medicines you’re taking. This includes drugs for sleep like zolpidem, antihistamines like cetirizine, or medications for nausea such as metoclopramide, as these could interact with aripiprazole.

Tell your doctor about any history of heart problems, seizures, or low white blood cell count, and let your provider know if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding. Follow your provider’s instructions carefully, take the prescribed dosage, and contact your doctor or a pharmacist if you have questions or notice side effects.

Aripiprazole is a prescription medication, so you can’t get it over-the-counter (OTC). You need a valid prescription from a licensed healthcare provider.

Providers on Sesame can write you a prescription or refill an existing one during a virtual or in-person visit. Depending on the medication, you can arrange for same-day pickup at your pharmacy.

Other atypical antipsychotics include brexpiprazole, quetiapine, risperidone, and olanzapine. These medications can be prescribed for conditions like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or as add-on therapy for depression, though the exact use and dosage can vary.

If you’re curious whether another medication in this class might be the right fit for you, talk to your doctor for guidance. At Sesame, you can explore mental health care options and connect with top-rated psychiatrists online.
