"10 months on 5mg abilify + wellbutrin and lithium. gained 15-18 pounds. found out this week that abilify causes weight gain and it&#039;s the culprit - not an injury i&#039;d been blaming it on. and i&#039;d blamed myself and started &quot;disordered eating&quot; out of desperation. it gets rid of my mood swings and crying for no reason. i feel generally good except foggy while at work where i do not enjoy being. unmotivated at work. moderately motivated in personal life - better than in years. absolutely quitting this drug. now for the withdrawal i wasn&#039;t aware of when i decided to take it... i think this is a dangerous drug for anyone who is prone to weight gain or diabetes. can&#039;t believe my pdoc didn&#039;t say anything when i complained about weight gain last time."
