Thanks for contacting with your health concern.

1. Abilify [aripiprazole] is an atypical antipsychotic medication used in the treatment of schizophrenia and acute manic episodes of bipolar disorder.

2. even if you have noticed slight swelling call your family physician or contact your psychiatrist right away [since blood clot is another issue which has to be excluded]

PS. As can't deduce your gender from the query, females on birth control pills are prone to blood clots [ so whatever be the gender a doppler ultrasound can be asked for]

3. I haven't observed/noticed/or heard of people having feet swelling with aripiprazole although agitation [mania] is a documented ADR [adverse drug reaction]
