Maybbe i can shed some light to this for you as i windered the same thing at first.
And this is wwhat one pharmcology site said,as well as a friend i know knowledgable in meds told me,
Ablifiy has two main method of actions,one is the one its approved for which is as a anti psychotic
making it a dopamine ant-gonist (drugs which block,in this case blocking certain dopamine sites thought to be cause of disease.)The second is very uniuqe that not all meds hold,and that is abilify at smaller doses acts as a dopamine modulater,short meaning is that it balances dopamine in the brain and can actualy increase dopamine in this respect,in fact my girl friend uses it this way,she said her first week on it and shell never forget wow good she felt,full of energy and mood elevation,she still useses it and she has nothing but a cfs diagonise.
Due to ablifiys unique two way action it has become a popular med,for both add ons for bipolar to control mood,as well as add ons to anti depressants to potentiate them,make them work better.
