will it?.,.,.,.,.,.,.,
I would learn to accept your body as it is, or try to work it out and enjoy yourself at the same time.
I’m overweight and on Abilify. I try by all means to lose weight but I can’t. I’m neither gaining any weight. I think Abilify is weight neutral.
It’s supposed to be weight neutral. I was on it for a while, but it didn’t work out. I am on Latuda now, which is also weight neutral - apparently.
What are you on at the moment?
You have a better chance losing some weight on Abilify than if you were on Risperdal or Zyprexa, as examples.
I lost almost 100lbs when I was taking Abilify, but I was dieting and exercising - its supposed to be weight neutral and is not known to cause diabetes - with that said, I did not do well mentally on Abilify (everyone is different)
Abilify injection
I’m currently on abilify injection
I wouldn’t have thought the way the drug is administered would make a whole load of difference. Might be worth checking on Google.
I can’t see it making a difference.
It might. When I got put on Abilify I actually got an increase in physical strength.
what the hank hill look an’t in no more!
I dont think that switching to oral Abilify would make a big difference as far as weight gain is concerned.
But I could be wrong
I’m just throwing my 2 cents in from my & son’s previous experience: Because son could never maintain oral meds and had many hospital stays as a result, it was decided to place him on a depot injection.
So in trying to decide which one, his pdoc recommended either Abilify or Invega Sustenna injections. Abilify pills never worked well for son, so I questioned the pdoc as to why he would recommend Abilify injection if the Abilify pills didn’t work well. He indicated the Abilify injection was “much more effective” than the pills, like whole different ball game. This surprised me. His pdoc is very good, experienced, and highly regarded in the Atlanta area btw. I ended up going with the Invega Sustenna injection just to be on the safe side though.
@crsaen, Would you mind sharing how the Abilify injection is working out for you, and if you were on the Abilify pills before that.
