perfect question for me...we are on the same exact meds!!! what your p-doc needs to do is keep a look out for the development of diabetes which is a risk of all atypical neuroleptics, however, abilify is supposed to be the safest so far...i have always craved sweets and it hasn't increased since abilify...i work as a psych nurse and some doctors are really oblivious to the health risks of our meds...watch your lipid panel and watch your blood glucose...carb craving can be a symptom....make him pay attention................leslie rn
