Is there anything similar to abilify?

Yes...Zyprexa (Olanzapine). The bigest problem with it is weight gain. --------------- It depends on what you are taking it for. Abilify is prescribed for schizophrenia, bipolar mania, and recently it has been marketed for depression. From experience I do not think the feeling produced is in any way similar to zyprexa. Abilify is a partial D2 agonist and zyprexa is a potent D2 antagonist. From experience abilify = no appetite and akathisia zyprexa= sedation weight gain I have been told that the new antipsychotic saphris is very similar to abilify. It looks promising but there is a very high rate of extrapyramidal symptoms (about 20%)


What are abilify withdrawal symptoms?

Withdrawal Reactions of Abilify The withdrawal symptoms can be severe and dangerous in patients when the use of Abilify is suddenly stopped. Make sure that you only stop taking Abilify after it is suggested by a doctor to avoid complications. It is better to gradually lower the dosage of the drug and then stop using it. The main withdrawal symptoms are the recurrent manic and depression attacks. Other withdrawal reactions include: * emotional withdrawal * poor rapport * passive apathetic withdrawal * difficulty in abstract thinking * lack of spontaneity/flow of conversation * stereotyped thinking These withdrawal reactions of Abilify can be avoided by continuing the use of abilify for the recommended period of time. Abrupt discontinuation of the drug can cause withdrawal reactions.


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!
