In reply to luvox/abilify combination, posted by joe f on July 14, 2017, at 20:21:02
Hi, Joe.
> has anyone ever used this combination before?
I haven't tried it, and I don't know anyone who has. However, adding 2-5 mg/day of Abilify to an antidepressant often helps to reduce depression.
Why was Luvox chosen to treat you instead of using another SSRI like Lexapro? It is unusual to use Luvox unless there is OCD present. That doesn't mean that adding Abilify to Luvox won't help with depression or anxiety, though. What is your diagnosis, and what are the symptoms that present?
I found an article that reports that adding Abilify to a SSRI or clomipramine can improve otherwise treatment-resistant OCD.
