I take cymbalta and found it didn't give me any weight gain. But of course I hardly eat anything because I had Gastric Bypass Surgery last year. Any way my pdoc told me it was weight neutral.

I have taking abilify before and don't remember if it made me gain weight.

As far as I know I didn't have any weight gain with either one of those meds. I used to be on abilify and am currently taking cymbalta.

BTW, love you username and your avatar!

Blessed Be!

Abilify hasn't made me gain any weight. Seroquel did though.
