Dear lybrate-user, Since how long, you have been taking Aripiren 5? It takes time to give you the benefit. If the doctor prescribed for 2 - 3 weeks, please wait till it acts. Please go for a follow up again, then she/he may increase the dose. Aripiprazol works differently at different dose. You can not increase on your own - more so a breastfeeding mom.
