Some became impulsive permanently, Health Canada and FDA:

“The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is warning that compulsive or uncontrollable urges to gamble, binge eat, shop, and have sex have been reported with the use of the antipsychotic drug aripiprazole (Abilify, Abilify Maintena, Aristada, and generics).”

“Among 14 of the 18 international cases of pathological gambling identified in a review of the scientific and medical literature, the behaviours resolved or improved when the treatment with aripiprazole was stopped or the dosage was reduced. The same was observed in 5 of the 6 cases of hypersexuality linked to aripiprazole that were reported in the literature.”
