In reply to Abilify+Seroquel combination???, posted by kellyr on March 9, 2004, at 18:44:50
> I take Abilify 30mg + Zoloft 200mg in the morning & Seroquel 150mg at night. Abilify & Seroquel are the same family of meds, does this seem weird to be taking two different meds for the same thing?
Not at all. Each of these two neuroleptic antipsychotics are unique and quite different from each other. For instance, Abilify often produces insomnia while Seroquel tends to produce somnolence (sleepiness). It is becoming increasingly common to treat certain cases with two (or more) of these drugs. Someone I know needs both Risperdal and Seroquel to bring her into remission. Either alone just does not do the trick. She is also on Abilify currently, but I doubt she needs it.
Good luck.
