Thanks for responding to my post! I think you brought up a very good point: that it could be the abilify withdrawal, or just getting acclimated to the lamictal. I will keep this in mind. It's nice to know that someone else has experienced a tough time coming off the abilify as well- although I'm sorry it happened to you! :( Thanks again for your post!
