I’ve had great results with abilify....it’s the only med I’m on and at 7.5mg. Now I do have some weight gain but it’s minor compared to risperdal or other APs. I have bipolar I with psychotic features so I need an AP. Other side effects include heat intolerance. I always wear a hat and carry water due to that. And I’m not sure if it’s the AP or the psychosis but I had some mild cognitive issues that were corrected by fish oil. Anyway I’ve been stable for eight years.
