I don't have experience with doses that small...below 10mgs, abilify was kind of nice, at least for a while. At 10 and above, it really is just another antipsychotic, at least for me--dysphoria, akathisia, so on and so forth. But..low-doses seemed better, so maybe that will be good for you.
Have you tried lamictal or trileptal? They're more conventional mood stabilizers that don't cause EPS; I imagine if 2-5mgs/day of abilify is enough to help you out, then a standard or even low-end dose of an anticonvulsant might also do the trick.
