I'd be nervous, too

Hey. Although docs combine neuroleptics and lithium all the time, problems can happen. EPS is more likely. TD is, I believe, more likely. Some antipsychotics (like Haldol) should never be combined with lithium b/c of the potential for brain damage.

Personally, I'd just ramp up the Abilify to a full 10mgs/day, but that's just me. Ask your doc about other options if you don't think this is a good combo; at the end of the day, its your brain that's going to be affected.
