Can the drug aripiprazole cause pathological gambling addiction ?

Yes, aripiprazole can cause pathological gambling addiction. According to the manufacturer: "In patients taking aripiprazole, after the marketing of the drug, cases of pathological gambling addiction have been reported, regardless of whether these patients have gambled in the past. Patients who have a history of gambling may have a higher risk of addiction and should be monitored particularly closely." The observed side effect should be reported to your psychiatrist, who will decide on further proceedings on this basis.
