Hi guys,
I'm on the above and feel good. This is highly unusual to say the least. Others with IBS, OCD or atypical depression might want to give it a whirl. Note that these meds are contraindicated when taken together so be wary. Also, as always, YMMV.
I'm on 10mg Lex, 300mg Wellbutrin and just 2mg Abilify. I do 3 days on, 3 days off of the Abilify to combat the insomnia it gives me.

Pedr why are these meds together contraindicated? I see lexapro not high dose, wellbutrin, low dose abilify? Thanks Phillipa

Have you ever tried Zoloft with Abilify? I was on this confusing mix of low doses of celexa and zoloft when we added Abilify to tamp down my "hypervigilance" and lability over med changes and hopefully drop one of the SSRIs.
I feel like the Zoloft mixes with the Abilify to make me zone out or agitated. Yesterday i forget to take the Zoloft and just the celexa with abilify just gave me a "boosted Celexa" feel. IF there was any mood-stabilization (i feel there was a mild effect) it went away without the Zoloft.
I find the Celexa makes me feel happier but more prone to hedonistic behavior. The Zoloft helps with the social anxiety, sex drive, but makes me dysphoric and angry at higher doses.
I don't think I can continue this mix. I haven't slept well in a month, regardless of when I take the Abilify.
I am doing 10 mgs Celexa, 12.5 mgs zoloft, 2mgs abilify, plus lamictal 100mg bid and .5 mgs of klonopin.

no, I haven't tried this combo. Abilify brings out the compulsiveness in me as well as insomnia. Man I hate side effects.
