> yes I took zyprexa and abilify at the same time for a while, then stoped the abilify. I went cold turky off abilify and suffered a major withdraw stage where I needed a higher dose of zyprexa for a while, a much higher dose, 30-50mg.
That's interesting. Abilify is much more potent than Zyprexa at binding to the D2 receptor. Perhaps there was a supersensitivity thing going on there. Unlike Zyprexa, Abilify also binds to the D3 receptor. Any withdrawal effects coming from this would probably not be counteracted by Zyprexa.
Did you feel that Zyprexa was less potent while you were taking Abilify?
These are just musings. I make no claim as to the validity of any of my theories.
