I switched from seroquel to abilify about a year and a half ago. It was definitely a positive switch for me. Abilify has worked really well for my mood swings. Although I got akathisia (restlessness) at the higher dose, when it was lowered to 7.5mg it worked really well and doesn't cause the restlessness I was getting at 10mg.
Withdrawal from seroquel wasn't pleasant but I came off 300mg cold turkey, which I wouldn't recommend doing. I had the shakes for days and just felt plain awful. I can't remember that much about it though, it was quite a while ago. It probably wouldn't have been so bad if I had weened off it.
Good luck with everything and if you have any specific questions I can try and answer them
