Can abilify help ocd?

I’m not sure if Abilify could help with OCD, but if it could you are on a very low dose. 2mg is the lowest pill dose they make. I would get in contact with the doctor about adjusting the dosage. The pill doses they make are 2, 5, 10, 15, 20, and 30mg. So you have plenty of wiggle room to work with. You will want to work slowly. However, I don’t see it as a good idea for your mom to increase the dosage without your doctor’s knowledge. Doctor’s can get really annoyed if you (or mom) does things like that. (believe me, I’ve “played” around with my meds before). So speak with the doctor and see what he/she has to say about the medication. It may just be that you aren’t on a high enough dosage or it may not be the right medication for you, I don’t know. That’s something only you, mom, and the doctor can discuss. Best of luck in your treatment decisions…

Be careful because Aripiprazole has a slight stimulant effect on me and stimulants are certainly not good for OCD.

it will help you to a certain extent not as if it were to “cure” you.
