@Phidippus ... Who told me? Quite a few mental health providers ... pdocs, MD's, Rn's, APRN's ... plus ive been studying up on it. It's specifically indicated for augmenting AD's.
@Bleauberry ... Have you had any good experience with abilify AFA depression augmentation? I am using it with an snri... effexor. I know u love amisulpride, but that is not available in the USA.
So if I want my vyvanse to work the way I need it to, AAPs are off the table? By what mechanism does abilify help depression? How would antagonizing dopa be of any value? abilify 5mg is enough to screw vyvanse up?
Sorry for all the questions ...
Thanks,
Alexei
