Can I take lexapro, ativan, and abilify together?

I've been on lexapro 20mg and ativan 1mg as needed (the generic) for a few years due to anxiety/ panic disorder. I saw a psychiatrist yesterday and after the whole assessment thing he said that I have ADHD with more of the hyperactive and impulsive side of it. Additionally he said that I have bipolar tendencies- not the mania type but the depression type. (I'm not up to par on all this.)

Anyway he prescribed Abilify 2mg to add on to my existing meds. He said to start with taking a quarter of the Abilify for a few days, then a half etc etc. Has anyone heard of this drug combination?

    Yes that is a common combination, you are on an anti depressant (lexapro) a anti psychotic (abilify) and a benzo (ativan). Lots of people on a combo like that.

    Please listen to the psychiatrist over others here or other message board or chat room :) How about calling your local pharmacist and inquiring about that medication combination, too.
