I already take Quetiapine/Seroquel for sleep those doesnt have negative effect on me, I take Bupropion/Wellbutrin for motivation, energy cause im depress and now my doctor prescribe me Aripiprazole/Abilify to help Wellbutrin.

My question is : Is it going to have negative effect on me cause I know its an antipsychotic that is prescribe to schizophrene, bipolar etc. and I dont have mental disorder except depression. I already take Seroquel which is also an antipsychotic but I take Abilify in the morning and Seroquel at night.

Im a bit worried about taking so much neuroleptic.

Dose are : Seroquel 50mg, Wellbutrin 150mg, Abilify 1mg.
 
All of those doses are low. Seroquel doses go up to 800mg. As for abilify that can go up to 30mg, with doses for depression usually not exceeding 5mg. wellbutrin is technically not supposed to be prescribed in excess of 450mg but I've seen it up to 600mg. Trust me, you're on several meds, but all (possibly exculing wellbutrin) are at minscule doses.
 
I wouldn't worry about it. I've been on aripiprazole for several years now (started at 2 mg, worked up to 10 mg) and quetiapine from 25 mg to 800 mg on top of the aripiprazole; never had any problems with the combo. Give aripiprazole a chance. Everyone is different, but for me it was a godsend.
 
Thanks for the reply, I will give it a chance. But I got something weird happening sometime... I see flashes like if someone is taking picture of me in my back. I know this happen with anticholinergic drugs cause I already did a few Diphenhydramine trip back in the time. Could Aripiprazole combined with Quetiapine and its metabolie Norquetipine enough to cause mild anticholinergic symptoms ?
