I know two people who respond to Lamictal and Abilify in combination for whom neither one used alone is adequate. It might not hurt for you to revisit Lamictal before you abandon Abilify for lack of effect.

Without getting two technical, it is my belief that both Abilify and Lamictal serve to increase dopamine activity in the limbic system, albeit through different mechanisms. There is probably a synergism there.
