Hi. I gained 70lbs on Abilify and mainly seroquel. For over a year I've been walking 26 miles a week, and my shorts from last summer are too freaking small %÷#&

So I told my pdoc the health risks outweigh mental benefits. Which is Imo why many people (called noncompliant) quit the psych meds. The side effects are with me 24/7 while the bipolar is inconvenient a few times a year.

I'm on medicare and can't pay $1k a month. When I did pay that for abilify I did gain just not nearly as rapid. So, he put me on Thorazine. So far, It's Working Great and I'm not starving for carbs & sugar.
