"when i first starting taking abilify, i was about 14 and a half and 130 pounds, and it worked great. my mood was great, side effects were minimal. however, over the course of about a year i have gained almost 60 pounds, and that was while playing two varsity sports and a club sport that whole time, so i was active majority of that time. when i came off it recently, i lost about 10 pounds over two weeks, but i was much worse than i was before i went on it, (which i find weird), so i was put back on. it is impossible to get the weight to go away."
