I have taken both (15mgs Abilify, 60mgs Adderall) with OK results. Basically, this is my understanding: some antipsychotics (mostly the higher-potency typical ones, like Haldol) will more or less block a stimulant completely. This is why they are used to treat amphetamine psychosis instead of more user-friendly newer drugs. That said, stimulants and antipsychotics can work together; some shrinks rx stimulants to offset problems caused by antipsychotics, and the people who make Provigil are apparently supporting some studies to see if it will help with cognitive function and overall outcome as adjunctive therapy for schizophrenia.
