gina_re haha, no worries!

I'm really confused about Abilify. I've seen people say that it's weight neutral and supposed to be one of the better drugs in that aspect, and then I remember hearing about it causing bad weight gain, messing with peoples' metabolism, and iirc increasing risk for diabetes. I wanna believe it's weight neutral and consider it, but the other stuff sounds too scary...
No, I wouldn't call it weight neutral. I think when they first released it they called it that, but then they noticed lots of people gaining weight. It's just a bit better than other AAP for weight. I was on it for years and it did increase my blood sugar. I switched to Latuda and now my blood sugar is much better.
