Maureen, I like Abilify. It was not a weight gaining med for me. I was given it to control my irritability and rage. I have been taking it for 2 years or so. I guess I really didn't know how good it worked until I stopped. I became very depressed when I stopped taking it. I was off it for 4 weeks until I finally gave in and went back on it. I didn't know this, but after some research I found that abilify also helps with depression. Anyway, it works for me. I also take Lamictal and Topamax. I was taking Lithium along with those but we stopped that months ago. I wanted to reduce some of the weight gaining meds.
