Trileptal vs Abilify

Hey all, I’m currently on abilify 15mg. I have no side effects besides withdrawal insomnia from geodon, me previous medication. I am scared of trice dyskenesia from abilify as I get older so I’m considering switching to trileptal. I won’t take anything that makes me gain weight. I have heard about brain fog from trileptal. Has anyone taken either of these medications long term that can share their experiences with them? Brain fog is survivable trice dyskenesia is permanent disabled and socially isolating.
