My rage attacks and depression can only be helped significantly by aripiprazole 20 mg tab with valproate 1g. No other antipsychotic is helping. But aripiprazole is increasing impulse dyscontrol problems and behaviour of hypersexual nature. We r cautious to take antidepressants for fear of rage attacks to counter the issue. Is there other medicine I can take with aripiprazole to stop impulse dyscontrol? It is extremely disturbing and it is from aripiprazole as stopping it leads to immediate reversal of this side effect. Other drugs are not helping my neuropsychiatric symptoms.

Aripiprazole is known to cause impulse control disorder and hypersexuality problems in some rare patients. My suggestion is to meet with a psychiatrist and switch to another antipsychotic medication. Thee are many alternative anti-psychotic medications available and one of them can certainly help you without any severe adverse effects.
