Brexpiprazole is a psychiatric medication that belongs to the class of drugs called atypical antipsychotics. It works by helping to restore the balance of certain natural substances in the brain.
Drowsiness, dizziness, lightheadedness, shaking, increased appetite, weight gain, restlessness, and inability to keep still may occur.

This medication may cause a serious drop in blood pressure, especially after starting or increasing your dose of this medication. Dizziness and lightheadedness can increase the risk of falling.
