I took Abilify and Saphris together a couple of years ago. I experienced no adverse effects from taking this combination.
Gosh, I wish you were able to get rid of the Abilify. You know why I feel that way. However, my gut tells me that the Saphris might be able to cut through the Abiify and exert a therapeutic effect. I should probably look up the binding affinities of both drugs.
Good luck.

Yay!Saphris is more potent than Abilify!
This is a good thing.

You asked if the drugs Abilify and Saphris are safe when taken together.
Well, if one is not safe by itself, there is the generally accepted understanding that taking another psychotropic drug, such as Saphris, with it could cause even worse, or speed up an event to happen.
Now Abilify can cause sudden death by itself, so any other psychotropic drug could make things worse, as in this case by possibly speeding up , or making death more probable than if abilify was taken alone.
Here is a link concerning the factor of the chances of sudden death with just Abilify.
I wouls ask your doctor if he/she knows that combining these two drugs could be dangerous, or even cause your death.

Here is a link that shows the adverse effects when taking abilify with saphris.
Could you show it to your doctor and ask him/her if it is a sound psychiatric practice to give a human these two drugs together?

Oh. Okay.
At the top of the browser window, there is an "address bar". It is the place where the web addresses appear when you go from one site to another. To enter an address manually, erase the contents of the address bar and type:
www.google.com
Then press enter or click on the arrow on the right of the address bar.
Once the Google site comes up, you can create a bookmark or "favorite" for the page using the menu bar.
What browser do you use?
Internet Explorer?
