Although you're weight is up, you're still within the normal range. Topamax, in some people, causes cognitive slowing . . . so just be aware of that.
Abilify (along with Geodon) are the 2 atypical antipsychotics least likely to cause weight gain. In your case, it certainly did though.

You should check your blood sugar on abilify. It made me very hypoglycemic. Causing me to eat like no tomorow.
