In reply to Re: Is Abilify weight gain dose-dependent?, posted by Phillipa on September 11, 2009, at 18:22:03
Abilfy was like magic for me as an anti-depressant, but caused me to gain 2-3 pounds per week. I got hugely fat going on and off it, on and off it. I gained weight at 10mg, at 5mg. I didn't gain weight at 2.5mg, but I also didn't feel better at that dose. So I think the weight gain is dose-dependent, but so are the benefits of taking it. If you gain weight on abilify, reducing the dose to a level where you stop gaining weight also reduces the beneficial affects.
