Is there ANY WAY you could provide help with him getting this medication? Our daughter and husband cannot afford 1200 $ a month for this med.

Thanks for using healthcare magic

Abilify contains aripiprazole and it is a atypical antipsychotic. In case, you can affod this drugs, you can try risperidone. It is better antipsychotic than abilify, but has few side effects like sedation or exprapyramidal side effects. It is cost effective as compared to abilify You can consult a psychiatrist before taking this. In case, you need further help, you can ask.
