I think the generic Abilify works but the side effects of sedation and weight gain are problems. If I feel my weight cannot be controlled, I will return to brand Abilify. I will take generic Abilify for at least two months to see its full effect. If I blow up into the Michelin man in the next two months, I will realize that the side effect of weight gain is not worth the saving in cost of generic Abilify. We shall see!
You've noticed a difference in the weight gain side-effect and the brand name has less weight gain for you? I am very curious because I am dealing with that same side-effect. Thanks for clarifying.
