You asked if the drugs Abilify and Saphris are safe when taken together.
Well, if one is not safe by itself, there is the generally accepted understanding that taking another psychotropic drug, such as Saphris, with it could cause even worse, or speed up an event to happen.
Now Abilify can cause sudden death by itself, so any other psychotropic drug could make things worse, as in this case by possibly speeding up , or making death more probable than if abilify was taken alone.
Here is a link concerning the factor of the chances of sudden death with just Abilify.
I wouls ask your doctor if he/she knows that combining these two drugs could be dangerous, or even cause your death.
