I didn't lose weight (i've always been "normal" weight) but I had fewer urges to b/p. I stayed on it for quite a while until it lost effectiveness as an A-D. I almost stayed on it just for the anti-ED effects, but doc wanted me to try something else, so I did.

Just recently I was on abilify for 18 months or so. That helped with depression and was weight/ED neutral, which I counted as a bonus since other APs are "fatteners".

It seems like so much of this is trial and error.
I'm hoping the Abilify helps me.. I'm at a loss with everything right now Anti d's do nothing pretty much except side effects.

Never heard of Zonegran? It is very much trial and error. I'm just tired of it all. Been at breaking point for quite awhile now.
