Because I have never taken this medication by itself I have a hard time pin pointing its side effects.
It does however remove that apathy side effect from the Abilify. It allows me to feel a little more natural in mood fluctuation. With that said I think I am still rapid cycling, but at much lower levels of intensity.

Advice & Tips
if you ever come off of this, go vvvveeeerrrryyyyy slowly. per advice of my md i cut doseage (400mg) in half one week, and eliminated it the next. i was massively confused, cloudy, didn't care if i lived or died, didn't show up for work, taking trazadone every 4 or 5 hours. it was really bad.

Advice & Tips
Could be the stress I am under or the fear of another manic episode but when I took it at night I was wiped dead the the world. So perhap I can get restorative slep.
