I did not find that Abilify increased my anxiety. I took it for severe depression related to BP II. I also have a GAD diagnosis and I think Abilify actually improved my anxiety. For me, managing depression helps me manage anxiety.

I recently started on Lamictal as a monotherapy. I don't think that is contributing to my level of anxiety, however it is hard to tell because I recently had a very upsetting situation occur which would result in increased anxiety. I also think Lamictal resulted in the start-up side effect of disturbed sleep with vivid dreaming. One pdoc I talked to didn't think that would be the case. The other did and patient chat boards seem to confirm that can happen.

Hope this info helps in some way!

Best,
EE
