Neuroleptics tend to reduce reactions to antipsychotics...its possible that, w/ the abilify, you could handle the dexedrine, and benefit from it, but not become so over-stimulated that you lapse into a semi-psychotic state. You could also try Provigil in the meantime (less risk of psychosis).
The only way to know for sure would be to 1) stabilizer and 2)try a couple test doses to see what happens...
some docs use weaker stimulants in ADD/ADHD and depression. Provigil is one, but also there are older diet pills (Didrex, Bontril, Phentermine) that sometimes pop up in med combos for ADD...although they are similar to amphetamine (and some, like Didrex, break down into both amphetamine and methamphetamine, while Bontril breaks down into Preludin), there might be enough of a difference to give you focus and energy w/o psychosis.
Good luck.
