> Depakote is hardly a drug without major side effects in itself and the underlying probelm (akathisia?) is quite serious! If the Abilify is having such a strong effect to cause this type of EPS there is a risk, I don't know how great exactly, but there is a risk of developing a permanent movement disorder with long-term treatment. It may dissappear during continued treatment only to reappear when you stop taking the drug years later.
