5-10 mg of abilify wiped out depression for me. It was like a miracle drug for me. But I routinely gained 2-3 pounds/week without eating anything more than usual. Some of the atypicals cause crazy weight gain. I now take perphenazine, an older anti-psychotic which seems to have the same effect as abilify for me but without the weight gain. Of course, the old anti-psychotics have their own problems, but I'm taking a low dose, so hopefully won't have any issues with dyskinesia or akathesia.
