There is increasing evidence that suggests side effects of Abilify may lead to severe and uncontrollable gambling problems, as well as other impulsive behavior, which could destroy families, friendships, careers and lead to devastating financial consequences for users of the popular antipsychotic medication.

Abilify is one of the best-selling brand-name prescription drugs in the United States, used to treat a number of psychological and depressive disorders.

Amid aggressive marketing, the drug makers have generated more than $6.4 billion in annual sales. However, it appears that important information about the risk of Abilify gambling problems may have been withheld from users and the medical community.

The product liability lawyers at Saiontz & Kirk, P.A. are evaluating whether individuals who have suffered severe financial losses or other damages as a result of gambling addictions or other impulse control problems may be entitled to financial compensation through an Abilify lawsuit.

Problems from Abilify and Gambling

Addictive gambling on Abilify can lead to severe losses and behavior that can destroy families, reputations and cause irreparable damage to an individual’s overall quality of life.

Uncontrollable gambling may cause individuals to take out expensive loans that damage their credit ratings, deplete retirement accounts or savings plans and usually also carries over to impact job performance, family life and the general reputation they have worked hard to build for years.

Proper Abilify gambling warnings may have allowed individuals to avoid these destructive effects, since symptoms of impulse control problems could have been recognized sooner and linked to use of the medication.

By placing the desire for profits before consumer safety, it appears that the drug makers may have allowed many users to continue to engage in destructive behavior and uncontrollable gambling without ever realizing that their problems may be caused by the use of Abilify.
