I started taking Abilify three years ago. When I began taking it I weighed 115 lbs at five foot two inches. Now I weigh 180 pounds! I finally decided to stop taking Abilify because the benefits did not outweigh the horrible health risks of being obese.
I have only been taking it for 10 days but I wake at night feeling hungry and I can't sleep. I have to eat something so I suspect I will gain weight. My doctor cautioned me about weight gain, tho. Said to let him know if I gained weight so I guess it happens sometimes?
Strange. It is usually weight neutral. It has been for me.
