lohmeier Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Hi, new here. I'm pretty sure my recent weight gain is due to Abilify. Mayo clinic calls it a 'more common' side effect and others say it causes weight loss. I have always been able to control my weight with diet and exercise, but no longer. It did bring me out of a deep depression, but I had just had two major surgeries with general anesthesia, so the depression may have been due to that. I'm thinking of cutting it down slowly. Anyone have major fat from Abiliy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jt07 Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 I have gained a little weight from Abilify, but I wouldn't characterize it as major fat. Remeron, well, that's a different story. I'm going to move your thread to Side Effects forum because the question is about a med side effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melissaw72 Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Abilify has been weight neutral for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtac Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 It was weight neutral for me, although I probably lost some weight at the beginning due to persistent nausea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikl_pls Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Abilify causes me to loose weight. In fact, when I was on it last summer and while on a diet, I lost 40 lb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Go Ask Alice Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Abilify definitely caused me to gain weight, but due to the improvements of my mood, I just decided to live with it. I plan on starting a diet and exercise routine after the holiday hype dies down... I really hope it helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
