Binge eating side effect of abilify

I told my pdoc the truth about my binge eating. He immediately suspected the abilify and searched it on his meds database and sure enough it is a side effect.

I have heard abilify can make people impulsive. This might be a symptom of this.

Glad I don’t have that side effect and I’m a lazy eater, can’t be bothered to eat half the time

Particularly binge eating, gambling, spending and sexual issues.

I’m so lucky I have none of this. Abilify has mild weight gain for me. That’s it. I actually used to gamble then I quit 2 months after starting abilify. Weird.

Sorry to hear that @FatMama - I am sure everything will work out once you get your meds sorted in hospital

Try taking a b-complex.

I take this as it has only 100% of the rda of b vitamins

It keeps abilify appetite problems away.

I tried taking a high powered bcomplex and it seemed to interact with abilify to give me chest pressure. So that’s why i only take 100% rda.
