Is Abilify a dopamine agonist?
Abilify is a “dopamine stabilizer,” meaning it can act as a dopamine receptor antagonist when the dopamine system is overactive, and a partial agonist when dopamine levels are low. It is able to do this because it has a very high affinity for dopamine receptors, so it binds to the receptor in place of dopamine.
Does Abilify cancel out Adderall?
Aripiprazole interacts with many other drugs, and these interactions can lead to serious complications. For example, the Prescribers’ Digital Reference says people should generally avoid taking Abilify with Adderall, an amphetamine doctors prescribe to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
Is Trazodone a barbiturate?
Trazodone and Ambien (zolpidem) are both prescription drugs that can be used to treat sleep disorders like insomnia. Trazodone is typically prescribed as an antidepressant and Ambien is a non-barbiturate hypnotic. This means that they both work to improve sleep but in different ways.
