I do not know whether there was a relationship but my husband developed spots in his pancreas about six months after taking Abilify. These spots developed into Pancreatic Cancer. He died two years after taking Abilify for only four months. He had all kinds of bad reactions to Abilify. He had a serious tremor in his hand, hit two cars, had two gran mal seizures, could not sleep, and was totally disoriented on Abilify. In my opinion it is the WORST anti-depressant on the market!! violetscoffee@msn.com

How will abilify effect psilocybin?

It seems that both Abilify and psilocybin have a similar mechanism of action acting both as agonist (shrooms) and partial agonist (abilify) at the 5ht2a receptors, so the shrooms and the abilify together might just give a stronger effect of the tripping experience. It would depend on the dose you're taking of abilify and also how much shrooms you are taking. Do not take my word for this as I am not a professional, just my thoughts on what I have learned from taking abilify and also my experience with taking shrooms. Never done them together though...Good luck!
