In reply to Stopping Abilify - weight gain, posted by SLS on September 18, 2009, at 16:10:11
> I am going to attempt to discontinue Abilify. It alone is responsible for the 50 pounds of excess weight that I have been carrying around for the last three years. I first blamed Nardil and nortriptyline. However, when I switched to Parnate and desipramine, much to my surprise, the weight issue remained. Process of elimination leads me to Abilify as the culprit. Weight gain with Abilify seems to be latent from the start of treatment. It just doesn't seem to begin until you have been on the drug for a few months. Then, the weight gain becomes insidious and doesn't seem to plateau.

Forgive me for my confusion, but how have you ruled out the Desipramine and Parnate as at least partial culprits?You probably are correct about the Abilify, but was just wondering.
