Eric makes a good point regarding Abilify providing 5-HT2a antagonism, a property shared with nefazodone. On our simple laymens' paper models, You should be able to get rid of the nefazodone if you remain on a SRI like Effexor and begin taking Abilify. However, things are not always simple. If I recall, you tried a bunch of different drugs before finding nefazodone. Had you previously tried a combination of a SRI with Remeron? "On paper", that should work too as a replacement for nefazodone. It should be noted, though, that nefazodone and trazodone are both metabolized to mCPP. Other antidepressants are not. One would not think that mCPP contributes to the therapeutic effects, but who can say for sure?
Can you describe how you came to add nefazodone to your treatment regime? It might help people to come up with suggestions.
