I’ve been on Abilify for almost a year now 30mg and I have gained almost 40 pounds I go to the gym often but just can’t get the weight off, anyone else in the same boat?

yes. Abilify is the only major tranquilizer/antipsychotic I can tolerate for any period of time at a full dose. The weight gain is...embarrassing. And because the Abilify people always pushed it as being "weight neutral," etc., the shrinks always blamed -me-, which was...extra special.

on the plus side, the shrink reduced 30 to 20, and after an initial adjustment period...life is good, and I'm dropping weight..slowly, but steadily.

good luck
Thanks for this!
