Palmitoylethanolamide (pea) + Aripiprazole
Aripiprazole brand names: Abilify, Abilify Mycite, Abilify Maintena.
We found no known interaction between Palmitoylethanolamide (pea) and Aripiprazole in our sources. Absence of a documented interaction is not the same as proven safety, and does not guarantee one does not exist. Do not start, stop, or change a medication or supplement based on this page; confirm with your pharmacist or doctor first. Additionally, although there is no interaction, the two are separately associated with some of the same side effects, which would make a new symptom harder to attribute to one or the other.
Palmitoylethanolamide (pea) and Aripiprazole
We checked these two against our interaction database. Here is what we found.
No Known Interaction Found
We did not find a documented interaction between Aripiprazole and Palmitoylethanolamide (pea) in our sources. This does not guarantee that the combination is completely free of risk — there is often limited research on supplements and herbal products, especially around drug interactions.
Worth understanding: our licensed dataset holds no drug-interaction record for Palmitoylethanolamide (pea) at all — not against Aripiprazole, and not against any other medication we track. This verdict therefore rests on the absence of any recorded data, not on research that looked at this combination and found nothing. We cannot rule an interaction out.
If you decide to take both, the practical routine is simple: add one new thing at a time and note the date you started it. If the combination is going to disagree with you, it usually shows in the first days to a couple of weeks — and a start date turns “I’ve been feeling off” into something a pharmacist can actually work with. Do not stop a prescribed medicine on your own.
Always talk with your pharmacist or doctor before making changes to your medications or supplements, particularly if you take several medications or have an ongoing health condition.

What Aripiprazole Is Prescribed For, and What Palmitoylethanolamide (pea) Has Been Studied For
These two come up together because they touch the same health topic — not because they do the same job. Aripiprazole is a prescription medicine with approved uses on its FDA label. Palmitoylethanolamide (pea) is a supplement: what follows is what researchers have looked at it for, and how strong that evidence is.
Aripiprazole is prescribed for: Aripiprazole treats several mental health conditions. It is approved for schizophrenia, acute manic and mixed episodes of Bipolar I Disorder, and as an add-on to antidepressants for Major Depressive Disorder. It is also used for irritability linked to autistic disorder and for Tourette's disorder — in both children and adults depending on the condition.

Depression studied, not established Palmitoylethanolamide (pea) has been studied for this. Natural Medicines rates the evidence: Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate Read what the research shows
Palmitoylethanolamide (pea) for depression
It is unclear if oral PEA is beneficial for depression when used in combination with citalopram.
Effectiveness ratings and the research summaries above are the verbatim record from the Natural Medicines database, which grades evidence from “Effective” down to “Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate”. A rating below the top of that scale means researchers have looked at it — not that it works, and never that it can stand in for a prescribed medicine. Do not stop or replace Aripiprazole on your own; if you are taking Palmitoylethanolamide (pea) for the same health topic, tell your prescriber, especially if the medicine is being adjusted to a target.

About Palmitoylethanolamide (pea)
What is Palmitoylethanolamide (pea)?
- Chronic pain
- Nerve (neuropathic) pain
- Inflammation
- Low back and sciatica pain
- General immune and recovery support
Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) is a fat-like molecule made naturally in the body and studied mainly for pain and inflammation. Some research suggests it may help certain types of chronic and nerve pain, but the overall evidence is still limited and more high-quality studies are needed. It appears generally well tolerated, but talk with your pharmacist or doctor before starting it.
Not a plant; a fatty acid compound made in the body and found in some foods · Capsules, tablets, sublingual tablets, powders, and 'micronized' or 'ultramicronized' formulations
An interaction check asks whether these two react with each other — it does not ask whether Palmitoylethanolamide (pea) is a good idea for someone in your situation. Here is what our Palmitoylethanolamide (pea) record says about it on its own.
