I'm not sure, you might want to try the 5mg dose before deciding to discontinue Abilify. I took it for almost a year but in the end, it really wasn't helping, I was still depressed (and this was taken with lexapro so a similar combination) and tired all the time. I don't think I had insomnia...but I was also on sleep meds at the time like trazadone and some sort of benzo, I wouldn't be surprised if I would have had insomnia on Abilify if I hadn't also been taking the other medications. Abilify made me feel a little restless yet also tired and fatigued at the same time.
I don't have much experience on Buspar but SSRIs are notorious for sexual side effects, you're better off trying something different for depression, examples could be Wellbutrin, Remeron (mirtazapine) or Lamictal...
