Hi!
Welcome to the PCBipolar Forum!
I hope you find the information and the support you may be seeking.
It's critically important to mention your concern(s) to your treating pdoc, asap.
Your pdoc should listen to you and should offer an explanation to you.
Some pdocs (and clients) find Abilify more activating, which may or may not be helpful to you. I cannot be sure this is the reason why the change in medication. Again, please talk to your pdoc to see what s/he is planning for a medication plan/goal.
I can understand your concern about staying stable, for sure!
