A doctor would need to prescribe all the medicines together to help with social anxiety. Usually a person only needs one or two pills to help with anxiety issues. Speak with your healthcare provider for more details.
presumably this med duo aide with management of anxiety with preexisting depression
Aripiprazole (Abilify) is an antipsychotic that is sometimes used in combination with Prozac (fluoxetine) to treat anxiety disorders. This combination can help manage symptoms more effectively, particularly in cases of treatment-resistant anxiety or when additional stabilization is needed. Always consult a healthcare professional for personalized advice regarding medication combinations.
You would have to be very careful about the Abilify dosage. Abilify is metabolized by an enzyme, CYP 2D6, both Wellbutrin and Prozac inhibits that enzyme. This will result in increased levels of Abilify.
#1 : If your doctor prescribes it. I am prescribed 10mg Abilify and 20mg Prozac for possible bi-polar disorder. The Prozac gets rid of the depression, and the Abilify gets rid of the Mania: they meet in the middle, or that's how my dr. explained it to me.
What are the side effects of taking Abilify and Prozak together? Is it a good idea to take both. My 18 year old son is taking them.
Prozac
Sometimes SSRIs like Lexapro and benzodiazepines like Klonopin need to be adjusted, or you need to just find a different medication that doesn't cause bad side effects. For example, to replace the Lexapro, there are drugs such as Prozac and Zoloft, and to replace the Klonopin (if you think that is causing you more side effects) there are drugs such as Ativan and Xanax. Good luck!
Strattera (atomoxetine) can potentially be taken alongside Prozac (fluoxetine) and Abilify (aripiprazole), but it’s essential to consult a healthcare provider before combining these medications. There may be interactions or side effects that need to be monitored. Your doctor can evaluate your specific situation and determine the safest treatment plan for you. Always follow medical advice regarding medication combinations.
Most anti Anxiety medication like Prozac, Xanax (Alprazolam),Klonopin (clonazepam). Also Valium (diazepam), Serax (Oxazepam), Ativan (lorazepam), Halcion (Triazolam ),Rohypnol, Roofies, Tranks,Chlordiazepoxide (Klopoxid, Librax, Librium),Dalmane (Flurazepam), etc..
Abilify increases the effectiveness of certain drugs that work on your nervous system and brain. So no. I took darvocet and abilify and ended up having odd OCD type of thoughts and had so much nervous energy w/a broken bone. Not good.
I've been taking 80mg of Prozac and 300mg of Wellbutrin daily for two months. Four days ago I added .5mg of Klonopin twice daily. Thus far, I haven't noticed any side effects at all. The Klonopin seems to have kicked in quickly and filled the gap on handling my anxiety (which is why it was prescribed). My feeling is that stabilizing on a medication before adding others into the regimen helps you find your balance. Starting on more than one medication at a time can make it confusing in sorting out how your moods / stability are being affected, and what is actually working. If anything changes, I will update this. Good Health, R
It's generally safe to take acetaminophen (Tylenol) for headaches while on Prozac (fluoxetine) and Abilify (aripiprazole). However, avoid nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen or aspirin without consulting your healthcare provider, as they can interact with certain medications. Always check with your doctor or pharmacist before adding any new medication to ensure it’s safe for your specific situation.
