Good question Scott. I dunno. Most "experts" seem to claim it is antihistamine effects that cause weight gain. While I agree that is a moderate factor, Abilify doesn't have much antihistamine effect does it? My hunch is it is the amount of dopamine blockade that is more responsible. But, probably a lot of factors involved we don't know anything about. Gene manipulation, gene instruction, ya know, stuff like that. Whether weight increases with larger doses or not I really don't know. So it remains, a good question! :-)
