Yes, but it's not really recommended. Both are very similar as they are both atypical antipsychotics typically prescribed for Bipolar disorder (with other uses to treat depression, various panic disorders, and other off-label uses).

I wouldn't advise taking the two together unless your psychiatrist says otherwise since they are both essentially identical in their effects. The biggest difference is that zyprexa lasts at least 24 hours, while seroquel only lasts 6-8 hours. If you don't have a tolerence to either one of the drugs, then I would strongly advise against taking the two together since it will knock you out.... hard.

Can Lexapro and abilify be taken with zyprexa?

I strongly suggestt hat you do not take Zyprexa. I took it and had HORRIBLE side effects. I am sure it can be different for some but two of my friends were on it and we all experienced severe weight gain (20 lbs in 2 weeks) and extreeme fatigue. I took Lexapro and Zyprexa together along with Colonipin. Not a great mix. Make sure you check with your Dr before taking anything. Medication can be very dangerous if not taken properly
