This is much the same experience I have but on much smaller dosing compared to most. In fact, I enjoy the best effect from Abilify just coming off steady state than I do dosing up to, or sustaining steady state. There's some weird saturation effect here that I don't understand. I'm now working with pulsing the dose, lower dose one day, higher the next. I may even dose every other day (with a higher dose) to compare. I'd love to be continually coming off the drug to enjoy the best of it, but obviously that's not possible!
When I exceed a certain daily dose threshold I start to get much worse. I then skip a day, feel much better than while I'm dosing, then resume the following day at a fractionally lower dose and sustain that steady state. If it's kicked in again for you
@leokitten maybe you could resume at a slightly lower dose, or skip one in three days.
In my first trial I found the same effect, as I came off it it kicked in again, and using a steady state calculation chart I determined my daily dose threshold was around 0.2mg. I must be a very poor metaboliser of Abilify. Thinking that metabolising enzyme CYP2D6 might be inhibited by CBD oil and Doxepin, I discontinued them both, and started a new trial. Nothing changed at all, I still cannot tolerate a daily dose of 0.25mg or higher, it actually makes me worse than without Abilify, whereas it helps at 0.19 - 0.20mg. I'm now having 0.19mg one day, 0.25mg the next, and that seems to work better than daily 0.22mg. Go figure!
