> I was wondering if + effects cancle? Anyone know?I don't think the therapeutic effects of one are cancelled by the other. What symptoms of your illness are you trying to treat? Abilify can produce anxiety and insomnia sometimes - something akin to akathisia. With me, these things disappeared over time. It gave me a pretty decent antidepressant effect for awhile. There should be no safety issues with combining Zyprexa with Abilify. I'm not sure it makes sense to theorize how one might negate the other on a biological level. What is most important is whether or not such negation or cancellation of therapeutic effect is observed clinically. A friend of mine did not experience any "cancellation" of the antipsychotic effects of Risperdal by adding Abilify. She did, however, gain an antidepressant effect.
