"abilify at 2mg has felt like my depression is finally under control.  however the weight gain has been a difficult one to accept and am going to try to go down to 1mg to see if that makes a difference.  i started out at about 124 and am now 131 with watching everything i eat and exercising hard 3-4 times a week.  doesn&#039;t seem to matter if i eat very little.  still can&#039;t lose the weight.  i don&#039;t like this side effect but it far outweighs the depression i have felt for years so may have to put up with it.  i am very hungry in between meals and crave sweets.  will power has been tested and so far i am passing because i have never had a weight problem in my life and don&#039;t want to start now."
