Yes...Zyprexa (Olanzapine). The bigest problem with it is weight gain.

It depends on what you are taking it for. Abilify is prescribed for schizophrenia, bipolar mania, and recently it has been marketed for depression.

From experience I do not think the feeling produced is in any way similar to zyprexa. Abilify is a partial D2 agonist and zyprexa is a potent D2 antagonist.

From experience abilify = no appetite and akathisia

zyprexa= sedation weight gain

I have been told that the new antipsychotic saphris is very similar to abilify. It looks promising but there is a very high rate of extrapyramidal symptoms (about 20%)

How will abilify effect psilocybin?

It seems that both Abilify and psilocybin have a similar mechanism of action acting both as agonist (shrooms) and partial agonist (abilify) at the 5ht2a receptors, so the shrooms and the abilify together might just give a stronger effect of the tripping experience. It would depend on the dose you're taking of abilify and also how much shrooms you are taking. Do not take my word for this as I am not a professional, just my thoughts on what I have learned from taking abilify and also my experience with taking shrooms. Never done them together though...Good luck!
