Can anyone clarify/affirm this? Sort of an obvious question, but the med interaction descriptions on rxlist.com and drugs.com in my mind were not completely clear in their wording:
IN the literature, it SEEMS that Luvox inhibits a particular enzyme, and increases the levels of Abilify; my guess is that they are assuming it does although they have no direct proof and that is why it is stated in an unclear manner?
And it is also inclear to me whether levels of Luvox are also then elevated in parallel to the Abilify (is there competition for this enzyme, or does Luvox simply and directly inhibit the enzyme? (CYP450?? Maybe it's my braing fog, but just could not understand the relationship between these drugs and enzymes)
And a related q. 2?: the lit also does say clearer that Luvox will raise desipramine levels; do then blood levels of Luvox also go up when taking desipramine?
Anyone have the patience to understand my question ? The short version is: what are the effects of taking desipramine, Luvox and Abilify together?
