Maybe this is the wrong way to think about it though. I was a normal weight when I started taking AAPs, maybe 10 pounds overweight. But if you are underweight to begin with, the weight-gaining drugs can be beneficial. My sister-in-law gained 25 pounds on abilify after years of being frighteningly thin and, for the first time in years, she looks healthy and normal.

I know that weight can vary even in the day but I have been weighing myself first thing when I get up in the morning and pee. :) I have been drinking as much water as possible since I am on the Lithium.
