It's working very well for me after one month but I've heard that some of these drug stopped working after a while
Does one have any experience with Abilify stopping to provide relief after a period of time?

Abilify (aripiprazole) is an atypical antipsychotic medication used to treat conditions like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and depression as well as to treat irritability and symptoms of aggression, mood swings, temper tantrums, and self-injury related to autistic disorder in children.
The effects of the many antipsychotics including Abilify can decrease over time as your body builds a resistance to the drugs effects. This is called tolerance. You may feel as though the Abilify is no longer working.
Talk with your doctor if you think you are beginning to experience tolerance. Tolerance can be managed in a number of ways like changing or adding a medication or increasing your dosage.
