I was on abilify for a year. I gained a shit ton of weight rapidly on it. More weight than any other psych med I’ve taken. I decided to wean last summer over the course of a few weeks and now I’ve passed my one year mark of being off it (and off all other psych meds too) and I’ve lost 20lbs. I lost this weight without any change to my diet or exercise. Also I didn’t realize until after I stopped abilify just how swollen that drug was making me from fluid retention and changed in my hormones. My face in particular is not swollen anymore. I feel more myself now. But it took a year to get here. I know it could take a couple more years for me to feel fully regulated. Best of luck to you!
