The prescription process

Expect a call from the pharmacy

An ABILIFY MYCITE Kit is only available through a specialty pharmacy. The pharmacy will call to let you know if the kit is covered by your health insurance plan. Once coverage is confirmed, the pharmacy will process your prescription. If, for some reason, coverage is denied, the pharmacy will follow up with your doctor’s office and health insurance plan on the appropriate next steps.

Save the MYCITE® Team phone number, 844-MYCITE-4 (844-692-4834), in your contacts so you know it's them calling you.

Get your prescription filled

The pharmacy will fill your prescription for the kit and ship it to your doctor’s office. The kit can be sent directly to your home instead, if you and your doctor are comfortable with that arrangement.

Prepare for your setup appointment

Whether your kit is shipped to your doctor’s office or your home, you will have support setting up the system. If your kit is shipped to the doctor’s office, your healthcare provider will schedule an appointment with you to set up the ABILIFY MYCITE System. On the day of your appointment, you will need 2 things to get started:

  1. Your fully charged smartphone
  2. Your email address

You can download the MYCITE® App from your phone’s app store before the appointment. If you decide to set up at home, you can call the MYCITE Team to walk you through the process. Call 844-MYCITE-4 (844-692-4834) from 8 AM to 8 PM eastern time, Monday through Friday.

Getting refills

All prescription refills can be shipped directly to either your home or your healthcare provider’s office, depending on what works for you. The specialty pharmacy will check in with you before sending your refill.

Resources for the support network

Support your friend or family member who has a mental health condition

The ABILIFY MYCITE System was designed to help make being there for a friend or family member with a mental health condition a little easier.

What the ABILIFY MYCITE System can do

Because they want you to know what’s going on with them, your friend or family member may invite you to view their data. Having this information can provide peace of mind and help you start a new kind of conversation about their mental health and well-being. 

With the system, you may be able to view some or all of these:

their pill

ABILIFY MYCITE® System Records Your Mood Using Emojis, Icon

Most frequently used
coping activities

Only functions related to tracking drug ingestion have been evaluated or approved by FDA.

The ABILIFY MYCITE System is not intended for real-time or emergency monitoring.

By inviting you to view their information in the MYCITE® Dashboard, your friend or family member is asking you to support them and be a part of their treatment. It might be a good idea to talk to them about how they want to include you and what they want you to do with their data.

Discover the ABILIFY MYCITE System

Watch these videos to get more familiar with the ABILIFY MYCITE System and how it works, so you can help your loved one throughout their treatment journey.

Check in using the MYCITE Dashboard

The MYCITE Dashboard is your online portal that allows you to view the data that your friend or family member has decided to share with you. 

Dashboard showing weekly summary
Illustrative data. Not from real patients.

Steps for getting started

Receive invitation

Your friend or family member who has been prescribed the ABILIFY MYCITE System will invite you to connect with them using your email address.

Create an account

You will receive a registration email to create an account for the MYCITE Dashboard. On the portal, you will be asked for information like your first and last names, your email address, and a unique password. This information can be updated at any time.

See how they’re doing

After you create your account, you will be able to see what your friend or family member has decided to share with you (eg, pill-taking, steps, rest, mood, rest quality) through the MYCITE Dashboard.

Guidance for using the dashboard

A different conversation

The information you get from the MYCITE Dashboard may offer you the opportunity to talk to your loved one in a different way than before. It might mean you talk less about their mental health condition and more about what matters to them.

You may decide to reach out to a loved one based on information you see in the dashboard. However, be sure to communicate with your friend or family member in a way that feels right for them. The best way to know is to ask them how they want to be supported. You can also encourage them to reach out to their healthcare provider so they can share more of what’s going on.

Conversation starters

If you think it’s time to reach out to your friend or family member, it may feel difficult to get the discussion going. Here are a few tips to help you begin: 

Don’t assume that because your friend or family member hasn’t shared any health concerns that they don’t have any 

They may feel that they would be wasting your time. A simple “How are you feeling today?” from you might go a long way

Let your friend or family member know that sharing their concerns with you can ensure they get the care they need 

If you sense they’re holding back, consider asking an open-ended question like “Is there any way I can help you make sure you are getting what you need?” or “What would be the most important thing for me to know about your needs or your health right now?”

If your friend or family member is living independently, remember that they may be scared to voice their concerns for fear of losing that independence

Saying something like “I know you can take care of yourself, but I’m always here for extra support” might help them open up

Let your friend or family member know that you want to help make it easier for them to get treatment

A simple “Would you like a ride to your next appointment?" might help open up this subject
