When I was researching Abilify, I came across the Psychiatric Medication Awareness Group.
Interestingly, in BC Abilify needs a special order from Ottawa to fill out by your doctor to justify using it rather than Seroquel or Risperidal.
Most likely it is because Abilify is a new drug on the market, which isn't resold by Pfizer, the drug company that has a strong say in BC's pharmaceutical drug assessment.
