Well I'm worse off than all of you--I gained 50 lbs. on my meds. I found out I now have elevated blood pressure & insulin resistance due to the weight gain.

I was put on the 1500 cal,.diabetic diet, but my meds provider said Abilify can cause you not to know when you've had enough when eating. When I eat, I EAT! It's easier for me to not to eat, then to try to stop it once I get started. There is a mixup with the satiety response. It doesn't seem to be there (I'm on Abilify & Lamicatl--don't know which caused it, but I have friend in my support group ho have gainjd on Abilify.

Good luck from hefty Suzy
