I wonder: If you take 30 mg of Abilify (aripiprazole) for insomnia, i wonder if your bipolar illness is actually under control or if you're in a hypomanic phase. Please check this out with your psychiatrist.

Its not for insomnia: Abilify (aripiprazole) is a second generation antipsychotic that works in the role of mood stabilizing in its indication for use in bipolar disorder. Seroquel is often used as a sleep aid in bipolar disorder due to its reliable side effects of sedation. Although seroquel is also a second generation antipsychotic, it is not a constantly good mood stabilizer in the opinion of many psychiatrists including myself.
