Greetings.Abilify is a second generation antipsychotic, and venlafxine a dual action antidepressant. If you have depressive symptoms currently, venlafaxine might help you. If you have manic symptoms aripiprazole can help. However the first line in the management of schizoaffective disorder is the use of mood stabilizers. Please ask your physician about the same.Get well son
