Abilify, Concerta and dopamine blockade

Posted by chocoholic on January 30, 2009, at 22:27:19

I am taking Abilify with Concerta. The Concerta seems to greatly improve my quality of life to where I am more present and feel more alive than I have in 16 years.The Abilify seems to help with depression and stabilize my mood. According to Dr.Robert Post in his new (very good) book the Treatment of Bipolar Illness, Abilify blocks 80% of dopamine and no more than 20 % can get through.I am very confused as to why these drugs seem to have worked synergistically for me and why they are not contraindicated.Doesn't Concerta increase dopamine levels?

I am also taking Synthroid, Provigil and Lamictal.

Any explanations?

Thanks,

Mir
