That's great! That's how abilify worked for me. I felt completely untroubled and normal. But I continued to gain weight at the rate of 2-3 pounds per week, despite adding thyroid and dieting and exercising obsessively. So you have to watch out for that. Sometimes the weight gain will taper off for people and, of course, sometimes people are thin and could stand to gain some weight (not me, alas). The good news is that if you respond to abilify, you will probably also respond to zyprexa and risperdal. These also can cause weight gain, but not always. I also responded to perphenazine, an older anti-psychotic which does not cause weight gain (at least not for me).
