Regarding adding abilify to wellbutrin...
They are metabolized by the same pathway, or the same enzymes... or something like that.
The point being, that whatever amount of abilify you take in conjunction with wellbutrin, will likely affect you as if it were a larger dose than you actually took.
You can take them together (I have) but just be aware of this, and be cautious/conservative with the dose of abilify. My pdoc had my start with 2.5 mg of abilify, which I added to 450 mg wellbutrin xl. I found that to be very activating/stimulating... couldn't sleep much. Hope that makes sense, and is of some help.
