Abili-Quel?

Posted by Christ_empowered on November 14, 2013, at 14:27:33

Yes...Abilify plus Seroquel...together at long last, lol.

Seriously though...I need 20-30mgs/Abilify per day to stay sane. I have Bipolar I w/some psychosis issues, mostly psychotic depression. I also take 1200 trileptal, up to 300 Neurontin (as needed), and I've been on 20mgs/Prozac for a little over a month.

The Prozac has been good to me, but I don't think its a good long term solution. My shrink wants me to get my act together and drop it ASAP. The only problem is that, despite doing Orthomolecular along with my meds and doing counseling, I still get rather severe episodes of depression.

Ordinarily, I wouldn't want two AAP drugs. BUT Abilify plus a low dose of Seroquel seems....I dunno...like it could work (?). Maybe? I don't want to load up, and I can take the IR as long as its low-dose, I was just thinking...I dunno...100-300mgs/day to lower agitation and maybe get a mild AD effect w/o having to rely on something like Prozac.

What do you all think? Do you think the risks of 2 antipsychotics--any 2 antipsychotics--outweigh potential benefits?
