If he is taking another drug (Abilify) and getting bad symptoms from it, there should be another option for that drug. Have you told his doctor? talked to a pharmacist? There might be some kind of drug interaction causing this problem or that drug simply might not be the best choice for him. There are other drug choices for depression. Talk to his doctor soon. C.

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 It appears that abilify's potency increases if taken with the gleevec by 50% more. I would definately stop the abilify and contact your doctor. Your son can try a different medicine for his depression that will not interact with the gleevec.
