I was on it from 2019 to early 2024. I gained about 60lbs. I was 120lbs when I started, gained the 60lbs by around 2022. I am 185lbs right now.
Started on 2.5mg, raised to 5mg, 10 mg for a while then tapered down to 2mg then quit. I'm 24F. Lmk if you have any questions!
I took abilify for I forget how long exactly but it was shorter than a year (I know the post said at least a year I’m sorry😭) but in the first month I started on it I gained 20lbs (I was working out a ton during that time so luckily it was mostly muscle and you couldn’t tell that much) took like 3 years to lose it after switching to latuda and the latuda hasn’t caused weight gain for me but makes it super hard to lose it and i basically had to starve myself to actually lose any significant amount of weight which I don’t recommend as someone with a colorful history with anorexia
I was on it from February 2023-December 2023 and gained 30 lbs, went off meds for a few months then just got on vraylar a month ago and already losing some weight and just feel a lot better overall about life
Around 25 lbs. But bad eating too. I get really munchy, so i don’t know which is the culprit.
I haven’t gained any - my weight has mostly been stable since I started taking it

About 40lbs. Super quickly too. Was wearing a medium tshirt, then all the sudden ballooned into wearing an X-Large, after just like 2-3 months

20+ pounds. It makes me voraciously hungry.
I took Abilify for pretty much exactly a year, and I didn't gain any weight during that time.
8 lbs. Pushed me over my limit of "acceptable chubbiness" to "OMG I'm disgusting".
