Abilify And Weight Loss Has Anyone Else Experienced This?
A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭

I'm only about 30 Days in of taking the medication Abilify which is for bipolar depression and I've already experienced a 20 pound weight loss so far.
H as anyone else lost weight on this medication if so can you let me know?
Im also curious about any other side effects people might be experiencing on this medication like restlessness during the night or feel hyper during the day?

@A MyChronicPainTeam Member My grandson took Abilify for awhile when he was in middle school. He gained a good deal of weight and the doctor decided to take him off it because his cholesterol levels went up. It would be good for you to check on the side effects and read what others have said about their experience. Drugs.com is a good place to look.

Your doing great. Any weight loss us a huge deal. One thing that helped me,was eating carrots before every meal. I'm just trying to get use to my new body. I do feel alittle better. I walk more, I'm happier. Thanks for being there. Hugs

I lost over 100 pounds in a year. So I'm very conscious about what I put in my mouth. But I'm not going back.

I wasn't very active. For me the weight was crazy. I hate the pills too. Like you if I dont take them, I'm of no use. I hope you have a good day.
