I don't know. My pdoc prescribed me Xanax for the same sort of situation. Have to take it at bedtime but between 0.5-1mg works really well for me. 1 mg makes me sleepy, which is what I need when the insomnia gets bad, but less than that works well for just reducing anxiety. Isn't Abilify an antipsychotic (I really don't remember)? It seems like that would be an odd choice, but there are plenty of off-label uses for meds that are perfectly legit. Talk to your pdoc and work to adjust your meds until they're right. That's why you have a pdoc- to help you manage side effects, as well as find the right med at the right dose.
