> Maybe it hasen't pooped out and you just are not noticing the effects any more. Or maybe the abilify is canceling the effects of the seroquel.
I doubt that there is some sort of pharmacological cancelling out thing going on here, although I think I understand your logic(postsynaptic DA receptor partial agonism?). What I might expect from time to time is an Abilify-induced akathisia or anxiety and insomnia reaction that Seroquel would not be able act as a sufficient remedy for.
A friend of mine was taking Risperdal + Seroquel. She responded well, but weight gain became an issue. Risperdal weight gain is notorious for occurring around the belly. She therefore switched from taking Risperdal to adding Abilify to the Seroquel, and has been well ever since.
