> What would the symptoms be if one is dosing above (vs. below) what is "needed"? Is it rational with Abilify, because of its long halflife, to titrate with a higher dosage in the first two weeks and then lower as needed?

Exactly.

It's called a loading dose. I started off with Abilify by taking 20 mg. You don't want to take 20 mg for an entire week, though. Maybe only one dose to be followed up with your target dosage.
