It doesn't seem as though Abilify is helping you, and you clearly don't want to be taking it, which might be wise. The point of taking medication is to make you feel better, and if it's not doing that then it's time for a change. Feeling zoned out and blank is fairly typical of what antipsychotics do. I don't think it will necessarily improve with time - that's one of the reasons Schizophrenics stop taking their antipsychotics.
If benzos are the only thing that have worked for you, then try to get a pdoc who see them a reasonable option. It doesn't sound as if you're going to make much progress with this pdoc.
