"although i am totally stable on this medication, feel great in fact, i have gained weight (40 pounds to be exact).  i take 40 mg, for about two months now.  i&#039;d give it a 10 but for the weight gain (never been overweight in my life!) which is driving me crazy, especially since my appetite is way down.  my dr is adding wellbutrin to it.  i am bipolar ii.  been on almost everything else, bad side effects, especially on abilify.  good luck. i had hoped to lose weight, but it looks like i&#039;m predisposed to weight gain."
