Aripiprazole + valproate or lithium

Participants randomly received aripiprazole as adjunctive therapy to current ongoing treatment with valproate or lithium for 12 weeks. Aripiprazole was provided in 5-, 10-, or 15-mg oral tablets and administered at a starting dose of 5 mg per day for Week 1. For Weeks 2 through 3, the dose was titrated up to 10 mg per day, and for Weeks 4 through 6, the dose increased to 15 mg per day. Flexible doses of either 15 or 30 mg per day were administered for Weeks 7 through 12. If participants were unable to tolerate the dose of 15 mg per day of study drug, the dose was decreased to 10 mg per day for Weeks 7 through 12.
