Has anyone been on both of these at the same time?
One doc put me on this combo then my current one said no, there's a cardiac risk. Really struggling without Abilify, it's the only med that helped my depression. Thanks |

hi. in general, 2+ tranquilizers/neuroleptics/antipsychotics at the same time is frowned upon. it can cause adverse effects, there's drug-drug interactions to worry about, and there's no real indication that its more effective than a comparable dose of 1 drug.
i am sorry. i take abilify, and i think maybe im stuck on it. i got my dosage down a bit, but...now, my mood either dips or goes up to obnoxious chipper mode without it, pretty quickly. maybe something to replace the Seroquel? like...hydroxyzine (sedating antihistamine), maybe...or gabapentin, lyrica, maybe...I dunno. I'm prescribed lamictal with my abilify. helps me simmer down and not get as depressed. |
