If your pdoc wants you to stop abilify right away, I would absolutely do that. If you need help with tolerating any discontinuation symptoms, you can get in touch with her for other prescriptions.
Your muscle stiffness and other muscular effects sound disturbing and I would be very self-protective in stopping the drug that seems to be causing them.
Abilify is one of the newer anti-psychotics that's more prone to causing TD than others and symptoms such as your could be warning signs. If your pdoc thinks you should stop--the sooner you stop abilify, the better.
I hope your symptoms abate when you stop, although it can take some time--
