What is the LD-50 of Abilify (Aripiprazole)
I have a roommate who is on Abilify and is constantly threatens to overdose. Aside from getting her medical attention (we're working on it), I need to know if Abilify is fatal at 300mg. Thanks!

Seeing as how I was started on 5 mgs, and the highest I know of people going to is 45 mgs - it's a great possibility that 300 mgs would seriously hurt her. =/ Perhaps you can be in charge of her medication for her - hide it and only give her the amount she needs each day.

Abilify is very safe in overdose, taking 300mg may make you ill but will not kill you.

If you called a pharmacist and asked them this, I'm sure they would be able to give you a qualified answer. Asking this kind of thing on here is quite risky, as there is no guarantee the person answering has any clue what they're talking about. Bottom line, though, if s/he says they've overdosed, call 911 and worry about the LD-50 later.
