Depakote is hardly a drug without major side effects in itself and the underlying probelm (akathisia?) is quite serious! If the Abilify is having such a strong effect to cause this type of EPS there is a risk, I don't know how great exactly, but there is a risk of developing a permanent movement disorder with long-term treatment. It may dissappear during continued treatment only to reappear when you stop taking the drug years later.
Your experience with Abilify seems to be quite similar to my own. I don't know how you've tolerated it this long!
