Stimulants Dextroamphetamine/Adderall & Abilify: Interaction?

[m060mm]

Any idea how these interact? I've heard vaguely from the literature that Abilify regulates dopamine where it will increase it when it's too low and decrease it when it's too high.

Will it ceiling the effects of amphetamines?

3mg? 5mg. 10mg? Does it matter at low-moderate doses of amphetamines?

The two are a great combo in my opinion but you may not get as a good a feeling off the amphetamine

I take 15mg Abilify daily and when I dose Vyvanse (different but similar) I can usually get feeling really good off 40-60mg

Okay so we're suggesting it potentiates amphetamines in average doses? I'd tend to agree in my limited experience.

Just bumping for the record, 5mg Abilify even after giving it the six-eight weeks recommended to stabilize, does increase the effect of amphetamines. IMO of course. I also notice less of a transition from the ~40mg I'll take in a day - coming up and coming down. No idea on an explanation for that, but 40 does more than 40 used to.

I mean I haven't had amphetamine since I was prescribed it back in October and wasn't on both since May but from what I remember (and my memory isn't that great) it was a decent combo.
