Abilify

I was wondering how Abilify added to an anti-depressant affects a bipolar II? Will it cause Mania?

"It (Abilify) was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for schizophrenia on November 15, 2002, for acute manic and mixed episodes associated with bipolar disorder on October 1, 2004, and as an adjunct for major depressive disorder on November 20, 2007."

I'm really not sure I'd say it could help with added to an anti depresant it would help but it's still not treating the up moods just the downs because abilify if I'm right just increases the aftects of the antidepresant you are already on
