What's S/E?: I'm not able to guess what the symptoms calling for Abilify (aripiprazole) are. I can warn you that it is a powerful medication and especially for young men you need to be closely watched for side effects. Pay close attention and keep your doctor informed immediately if you notice anything strange physically or emotionally. There are no interaction warnings, but each alone have some risks. Take care.

Dexedrine (dextroamphetamine) seems to: pop up more in questions from Canada. Long-acting preparations of Mixed Amphetamine Salts. Non-stimulants like Intuniv, Kapvay or Strattera are added if side effects prevent an optimally-effective dose of stimulant. Low-dose Abilify (aripiprazole) can make you sleepy & may have metabolic effects. Take it at night if there's no other option. It's for depression, bipolar, etc. At your age, maybe not best choice.
