Oh bummer, I didn't know you were bipolar. Sorry. Are you able to take AD's without setting off mania?
I think you're right, you should just axe the Abilify as soon as it's safe to do so. I've taken antipsychotics (including Abilify--my first and last tablet flattened me for a whole weekend) for BPD symptoms, and they've all made me emotionally numb and incapable of fantasy.
I'm not sure it's possible to make a drug that can control psychosis while at the same time permitting a rich sex life. (After all, isn't the feeling of losing oneself an essential part of good sex?)
Good luck with the mood stabilizers!
