hey. I take 30mgs/ Abilify. This time around, I gained 50lbs. When I took 20mgs, I gained 25lbs. I'm pretty much stuck with Abilify--I respond well to "atypical" neuroleptics, and Abilify is about as good as it gets for me--so I'm trying to diet and exercise.
The weight gain has stabilized, but the weight loss is taking a while. I' doing a rather severe diet that I've tried in the past with great success (rather rapid weight loss), but now the weight is coming off, but its taking longer. I think the Abilify has made it harder to get un-fat.
In the past, when I dropped the Abilify and then went on a severe diet, the weight came off rather quickly.
