Can be: The addition of such drugs can augment the action of the antidepressant. Need to be cognizant of the side-effects of Abilify (aripiprazole) - sometimes addition of another antidepressant or mood stabilizer can be better.

Yes it should: Wellbutrin (bupropion) antidepressant more selective for inhibiting dopamine reuptake. Aripiprazole exhibits high affinity for Dopamine d2 and d3, serotonin 5-ht1a and 5-ht2a receptors and it's complement wellbutrin (bupropion) 's action by long 75 hours and 94 hours of half life. Very common combo.
