I've gained weight on abilify and i'm going off of it shortly. Should i expect to lose this weight or will it stick even after the drug has left my system?

every time I've quit Abilify I've lost the weight. I think with zyprexa sometimes the weight sticks around because of metabolic syndrome, not sure though.

I experienced a great deal of weight gain while on Abilify. I was able to lose most of it during two windows of time when I was on meds that allowed the weight loss. My knees are so much better since I lost the weight. Good luck

I gained some weight from Abilify, and I lost most of it after discontinued the med, although it didn't happen as fast as I would have liked, however I remember being very sedentary at the time...

For me, it didn't just melt off. I had to diet and exercise like crazy to get it off. It seemed to take forever. What happened, for better or worse, is that i was in a work situation that made me totally anxiety-filled, which absolutely kills my appetite, and the weight, finally, started rolling off. I am now almost -- almost -- at my pre-AAP weight.
