Abilify was a bad med for me. I had the aka thing (yeah that word is so freaking weird i can never remember how to spell it) and it was just so awful.

i also gained weight. I since did the genetic testing i talked about here

and found at that I am predisposed to the weight gain and to the side effects of APs so I was right! and now science has proven it. wahoo.

Good luck with your decision!
