In reply to Abilify - Discontiuing due to high triglycerides, posted by SLS on January 6, 2012, at 6:28:11
> My triglycerides have been elevated (> 300) for several years. I concluded that it was due to taking Abilify. My recent blood test reported my triglycerides to be over 400. I have decided to stop taking Abilify and hope that I don't relapse. I am finally responding well to treatment.

That is a telling statement.
I am down to 5.0 mg of Abilify. I will remain there for a few more days. So far, I am not experiencing any degradation of my condition.
I hope I lose weight once I have discontinued the Abilify. It should be easier to do so. It is possible that nortriptyline is responsible for some of the 50 pounds of weight I gained. I suspect the Abilify to be the real culprit, though.
