Controlling Weight Gain on Bipolar Meds

Oh hi! I know this one. I was on abilify for about a year and it numbed my emotions and I hated the weight gain. I managed to stabilize it and myself by switching off of it with help. It was kind of crazy and scary but I had to switch all my meds around in about a week to get rid of it. But no more chronic weight gain was really worth it.

hi new here and trying to get involved— this hasn’t stuck for me yet so please just know I’m not speaking from a place of “I did this and it worked” but I think active exercise routine in conjunction with meds is really healthy. Again I haven’t found a right balance of it for me but it’s my goal

I honestly have no clue how to fight that, I've been on abilify for a while and have gained a lot of weight. I think it's unavoidable. But I'd rather be slightly chubby and relatively stable than skinny and completely miserable.
