Has anyone gained weight on Abilify? Latuda seems to have stopped working.
I need a new antipsychotic but don't want to gain weight. |

I gained some. Not majorly. It's my understanding that the typical response is weight-neutral.

It was weight friendly for me, but then again I gradually became manic while on it. I had oodles of energy. At that time, I also took Lamictal. I do believe that it was the Lamictal that made me manic more than the Abilify, but I can't be sure.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
