A member asked:
Just started titration to abilify (aripiprazole) from seroquel. the latter helps me sleep. can both meds be taken or is there a reason my psych suggested titration?

Same class of med: These two are the same class of meds, and the risk of side effects with metabolic problems goes up if you are on both. It is fine to take both for a very short time as you switch one to another, but to stay on both long term would not give you any additional benefit to outweigh the risk of being on both.
