Hello and welcome to Healthcare Magic. Thanks for your query.
Abilify (Aripiprazole) is an anti-psychotic medication which comes in doses like 10, 15, 20 and 30 mg. So, I presume that the 2mg dose which you have mentioned must be by error. Many anti-psychotic medication have a tendency to increase the levels of a hormone called Prolactin, which in turn can cause breast engorgement or soreness. Among all antipsychotic medication, Abilify has the least tendency to cause this side effect. However, if this symptom is distressing or unmanageable to you, I would advise you to discuss with your doctor to see if your medication can be changed.
Wish you all the best.
