Since I went from 10mg to 15mg abilify it seems to have decreased my appetite.

On Geodon I am like my normal self. with regular appetite. But at least it does not make me gain more weight so I am only maintaining for now until I start exercise.

Abilify 15 decreased my appetite too but really I did not lose weight on it at all.

I’m hoping it will translate into weight loss. I’m not super optimistic though.

My meds increase my appetite somewhat, especially olanzapine. When I went off it briefly my appetite dropped and when I came back on it increased again. It also gave me fat around my belly.

Vraylar decreases my appetite. It’s known to do that.

Only a mild increase on Rexulti and Geodon (in the past). Haldol makes me hungry as all hell. Zyprexa left me with an ungodly appetite – it’s amazing that I didn’t turn into a cannibal. I could empty the fridge, be full, and still be starving and wanting to eat. I gained weight so quickly on it I had stretch marks!

I don’t have more appetite. I have always been eating very small meals except when I was a teen.

But the antipsychotic made me gain some weight so I have the eat even less to keep a healthy weight.

Abilify 5 MG Made me like that :sob: what a nightmare

Depakote greatly increases my appetite.
Makes me eat everything in sight!
It also slows down my metabolism so I gain weight automatically.

Risperdal does the same thing as Depakote but to a lesser degree.

I’m a blimp!

Except instead of turning into a beautiful butterfly,

I just got fatter.
