Has anyone used Abilify? My doctor said that it should also help loosing weight. I will stop using Seroquel and change to Abilify. Other medication: Lamictal & Xanor.
I have gained weight 20 kgs less than a year. I´m so short, so it makes BMI change from 22,5 to 30. No pregnancy, no thyroid problem, blood colesterol and other lipids in laboratory tests look very bad. As I say, from pretty girl to a monster. I feel like giving up with my life...
Its been awhile since I posted but I take abilify and it seems to be weight neutral. What I mean by that is that you lose a few lbs but then you stay at a certain weight.
I have been on Abilify for awhile now and started at 10 mg a day. I used to take Seroquel and Risperdal for my psychosis. I have lost 90 lbs. The doctors were getting concerned I might have cancer or something, but I feel great and am so much more active!!
My doctor put me on Abilify and phased out Zyprexa because of weight gain problems. What I found is that I lost a few pounds, but I didn't feel as well on just the Abilify. I had more energy, felt nervous, and was having problems with thoughts of hurting myself. So now, believe it or not I'm on both Abilify and Zyprexa, but lower doses of each. I seem to be maintaining my weight and also feel good. I wish I could loose weight, but I think that I'd have to starve myself.
Abilify
