"i have been on 20 mg of abilify now for about 10 years. when i first began taking it i gained over 100 pounds in 6 months. i finally stopped gaining at 250. i have tried everything to take the weight off. nothing. my doctor added 20 mg of lexapro. i gained 30 more pounds. i am going to stop taking the abilify as the weight gain is causing health issues. i just hope the weight will come off."
