> Hi,
> That might have been me. I take Adderall 40mg, Abilify 2.5 mg, desipramine 75mg, Luvox 50mg. The latter three are at small doses, because they potentiate each other.

> The Abilify I take because it helps with anxiety and excessive rumination. Because it can be stimulating, though, some have found that it is too much so and increases anxiety.
> So in other words, this combo is very effective for me...dont know how it would be for someone else.That's sounds good. So the Abilify didn't ruin the stimulating effects of Adderall then? Can you distinguish the Adderall & Abilify from all four of your meds combined... I guess what I mean is, did you start all of these meds at once?
Another question if you don't mind. On a previous trial of Abilify myself, I took a very low dose and still got akathisia pretty bad. Does Adderall help with this side effect at all? Thanks for your input,Josh
