Did aripiprazole (Abilify) help at all?

Abilify, like other D2 antagonists, increases That might add an increase in dopamine release, but mostly at low dosages.

This is what I remember to be guideline for:

2-5 mg/day for depression - presynaptic receptor blockade + Postsynaptic receptor blockade.
10-20 mg/day for bipolar mania.
20-30 mg/day for schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, psychosis.
