I use to be on Abilify. I gained 50 lbs in a year on that medication.


I gained nearly 80. I've gone from 160lbs to just shy of 240lbs. :(

I'e had great results with abilify. However, I don't take it for irritability. Mine is to aide my constantly severe anxiety that antagonizes my brain. It used to be so bad that it would cause severe depressive tendencies. D: I already gained weight due to depression from moving and stuff, so it's not due to my abilify or concerta I take.

I like geodon. Sam class of drugs, less side-effects.
