Can NyQuil and abilify be taken together?

Answer 1

I wouldn't recommend it. I am also on Abilify and Nyquil night-time relief and nearly crashed my car. Shakes, chills, racing heartbeat, confusion, blurred vision (to the point of barely being able to see), etc. Once home I found out that together these medications can cause "anticholinergic intoxication syndrome" which describes my symptoms exactly. They list it as a "moderate" interaction between the two drugs, but it can cause death in rare, and severe cases.

As per my sleep specialist m.d., yes.
