subject: Powerful Atypical Antipsychotics Used to Treat Schizophrenia, Bipolar Disorder and Autism [print this page] Antipsychotics are powerful drugs, and antipsychotic side effects tend to be troubling. Fortunately, the newer atypical antipsychotics such as Seroquel or Abilify are safer and better tolerated. Atypical antipsychotics are expensive, but cheaper yet chemically identical generic Seroquel (quetiapine) and generic Abilify (aripipozole) are now available. Common Abilify and Seroquel side effects such as weight gain, drowsiness, sexual dysfunction and constipation can often be addressed by changing the dose of the medication, switching antipsychotic medications, or taking an additional medication to treat the side effect.
