How long ago did you stop Abilify?
The thing is. Abilify has a long half-life and a long duration of action. If you only stopped recently, the drug is still in your system, and still working. This could mean that you will benefit more from a lower dose of Abilify that you were taking previously. I'm just concerned that if you decide to stop Abilify completely you may suffer a relapse. I think you said this has happened before.
Rather that thinking of Abilify as 'all or nothing', why not try a lower dose eg. 10mg per day instead of 15-30mg and see how you do?
