> Are you still taking Abilify and Keppra together? I restarted Abilify a few weeks ago and was thinking about a small dose of Keppra. I know you have other meds on board, but are you still taking these two? Do you think they compliment each other?

Hi folks.

Ed, as usual, your working database is accurate.

I am currently taking:

Parnate 80mg (40 bid)
nortriptyline 100mg (100 qd)
Lamictal 100mg (50 bid)
Abilify 10mg (10 qd)
Keppra 1000mg (500 bid)

Keppra seems to help. I don't think there is any reason to avoid Keppra, as long as you are armed with the knowledge that it could make your depression worse. For me, I noticed that Keppra has a therapeutic window. 500mg will not produce an improvement. 2000mg produces an exacerbation of symptoms. 750-1000mg seems just right.

I could not say whether or not Keppra and Abilify "compliment" each other, but I doubt there is an adverse interaction.
