Get emergency medical help if you have signs of an allergic reaction to Aristada hives; difficult breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
High doses or long-term use of aripiprazole can cause a serious movement disorder that may not be reversible. The longer you use Aristada, the more likely you are to develop this disorder, especially if you are a diabetic or an older adult.
Call your doctor at once if you have:
uncontrolled muscle movements in your face (chewing, lip smacking, frowning, tongue movement, blinking or eye movement);
feeling uncomfortably warm or hot;
trouble swallowing;
a seizure;
severe nervous system reaction - very stiff (rigid) muscles, high fever, sweating, confusion, fast or uneven heartbeats, tremors, feeling like you might pass out;
low blood cell counts - sudden weakness or ill feeling, fever, chills, sore throat, painful mouth sores, swollen gums, skin sores, cold or flu symptoms, cough, trouble breathing; or
high blood sugar - increased thirst, increased urination, hunger, dry mouth, fruity breath odor.
You may have increased sexual urges, unusual urges to gamble, or other intense urges while using this medicine. Talk with your doctor if this occurs.
Common Aristada side effects may include:
feeling restless;
pain where the injection was given;
weight gain; or
drowsiness.
This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.
