"i was put on abilify 4 years ago for depression along with prozac. at first it really helped my mood. that only lasted several months, so the doctor raised my dose to 10 mg a day. i gained 30 lbs in 6 months. i am still on the medicine but decided last night to take it down to 5 mg a day and eventually to discontinue it all together. no matter what i do, eat healthy, exercise, etc., i cannot lose weight. it has to be the abilify, i can&#039;t think of any other reason. i probably only put 1200 calories a day into my body, if that. i should be losing.
