I was thinking that the sudden paranoia might be a result of the Abilify, a drug that can be activating and cause mania.

Anyway, dropped the dose last night and feel better. Seems 10mg is sufficient.
I agree the paranoia could be med related. The timing is suspicious. I have experienced meds causing mental issues. Risperdal caused anxiety for me. I'd go with your instinct especially if paranoia isn't a symptom you regularly experience.
Thanks for this!
