Hey. I used to take Abilify with Adderall. I think the doses of both meds were a little too high for me at the time (15mgs Abilify, 60mgs Adderall), plus I was also on Klonopin and some random other stuff.
Anyway, in my limited experience, Abilify is hard to mix with stimulants (I also tried it with varying doses of Ritalin and Focalin). Its high-potency (each mg packs a punch, more so than, say, seroquel), so each up or downward adjustment can make a big difference. I ended up just feeling zoned out of my mind. I also got in a bad situation where the amphetamine kick-started some EPS from the Abilify and the Abilify gave me more amphetamine-induced jerks...probably a dosing issue.
One of my friends now takes Seroquel and Adderall for her issues. She's been on all kinds of stuff, this combo really works for her,and she's only had minimal weight gain. I personally think it'd be easier to use seroquel with adderall than abilify, since seroquel is lower potency and doesn't bind to d2 receptors as strongly. Just a suggestion.
Good luck.
