Could abilify (aripiprazole) trigger voices or trigger voices upon its withdrawal because it also raises dopamine levels? i think i experienced this when taking it

No: But if it was prescribed for psychotic features or symptoms, return of those symptoms could be a reason for hearing voices. Please discuss this with your treating doctor ASAP.
