I take abilify and clozapine. I wonder is it better to take two aps or one? Do 2 ap not go together, and it is less affective. I know I should ask my pdoc, but has anybody already asked their pdoc this question…or have you experienced this yourselve?(2 aps are better or 1 ap is better)

I take Geodon and Seroquel, and that is a combination that has kept me more or less on track. Some people don’t like Seroquel, but I have no problem with it.

Yeah, I’m on two AP’s but they are both low doses. My pdoc was worried about possible side effects but he agreed to prescribe them because I am doing well.

Olanzapine and Lurasidone

I take 3 AP’s and they are definitely better than one. Risperdal Consta, Geodon and Seroquel.

I’m really surprised how many take 2 or more APs. Most docs I’ve known will stick to one and crank it really high if they need to, and if that fails, move on to something else.

That is what my second pdoc did. She cranked my Olanzapine up to 40mg. The side effects were bad and my physical health took a huge hit. I’m doing much better on a low dose of 2 AP’s.
