I don't know how it works. The doc says that they are using Abilify now as a mood stabilizer, much like Lamictil. So far, so good with the abilify.
I won't take lithium - I'm already overweight. And I didn't have any luck with Trileptal or some of the other mood stabilizers.
If for some reason Abilify doesn't work out, I may try going to a small dose of Lamictal to see if I can ease into it and bypass the side effects.
