Patients have developed serious impulse disorders
Abilify, manufactured by Bristol-Myers Squibb is one of the most popular and top-selling medications in the United States. Used to treat conditions such as depression, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia, Abilify has been linked to the development of serious compulsive behavior disorders that are causing patients to become gambling addicts, sex addicts, and food addicts when these patients have no history of these types of compulsive behaviors.
Studies have shown that some patients who take Abilify have developed serious impulsive behavior disorders. In fact, one study examined the cases of eight patients who developed serious gambling addictions while on the medication. The compulsive gambling behaviors were so severe that some patients lost their jobs, homes, and the things they held dear. When these patients stopped taking Abilify, the urge gamble also stopped.
These problems are so severe that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has issued a warning regarding the link between Abilify and impulse control problems.
We believe that although the manufacturer included many warnings of adverse effects on the label of Abilify, the drug maker failed to warn consumers and their physicians about the impulse control risks that have been identified.

We are actively investigating these claims as well as claims that patients developed hypersexuality or other compulsive disorders like binge eating or shopping addictions after taking the drug.
