Been on Abilify for 17th day today...

Yes! And, it has made me gain a little weight. I am so resentful of my meds. I had to take Lithium in my third trimester and after my youngest daughter was born so I wasn't able to breastfeed. Not breastfeeding (among other more important things) meant not naturally dropping the whopping 40 lbs I had gained during pregnancy. Now because of medicine I have gained 5 lbs more instead of losing that weight. I am normally a healthy size, now I am miserable.

I hope that it is coincidental for you and that you don't start to gain. Not everyone on Abilify gains. It has seemed to work for me so my doctor won't consider taking me off of it. She says it is the most weight neutral ap on the market.
