Something happens in my brain at 30mgs. My thoughts clear up. Its weird. Then again...I started taking 30mgs/day to treat an acute episode of mild psychosis, hyperkinesis, and agitation; I imagine that at this point, I'd be able to cut down (gradually) and still keep the psychosis under control.
What I'm thinking is that once the Lamictal is ramped up to the 200mgs target dose (btw--is that high?), I'll be able to lower the Abilify to 10-15mgs/day. Anticonvulsants usually have good effects on agitation, and Lamictal seems like it could get the job done without turning me into a zombie like Depakote+Abilify did.
