What are the possible side effects of aripiprazole?

Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.

Stop using aripiprazole and call your doctor at once if you have any of these serious side effects:

• fever, stiff muscles, confusion, sweating, fast or uneven heartbeats;
• jerky muscle movements you cannot control;
• sudden numbness or weakness, especially on one side of the body;
• sudden headache, confusion, problems with vision, speech, or balance;
• increased thirst, frequent urination, excessive hunger, or weakness;
• feeling light-headed, fainting; or
• urinating less than usual or not at all.

Continue taking aripiprazole and talk to your doctor if you have any of these less serious side effects:

• dizziness, drowsiness, or weakness;
• constipation;
• nausea, vomiting, upset stomach;
• headache, anxiety;
• sleep problems (insomnia); or
• weight gain.

Side effects other than those listed here may also occur. Talk to your doctor about any side effect that seems unusual or that is especially bothersome.
