you don't need to wait to move to begin a mood stabilizer. again, the advice is be deliberate in what you do. Have you maxed out on Abilify? Get to whatever limit the docs thinks is good there, then discuss what mood stab you are going to add.
Assuming at least that your psychiatrist has a good sense of medications, you can do this before you move.
just get those monthly appts and clear indications of what negative side effects to really look at for and you can do it. you are doing the go low/slow and that's good.
Again it is so much of a trial and error thing anyway that you may have to try one or two before you find the one that really helps.
sorry that you are going through all this.
