Abilify and weight gain?!
Question:
Abilify and weight gain?
The psych told me after my son gained 20 lbs in 1.5 months on seraquil, we should take abilify? Well he has since gained 10 more lbs on this? He is diagnosed with bi-polar disorder, and ADHD, does anyone have other suggestions? Cureent meds for my nine year old are.
Metadate 40 mg for ADHD
Zoloft 50 mg for OCD/Depression
Abilify 10 mg for BPD
Answers:
That's seems very odd.Abilify has been shown to be largely weight-neutral,sometimes even causing mild weight loss.There are always rare exceptions to these matters though..it may be that your son is very sensitive to weight gain,even with a drug such as Abilify.
