I’ve been on Abilify for years, am over 50, post menopausal and normal weight. I also watch pretty much what I eat. I think in the beginning it may have caused some weight gain but the benefits are well worth it.

Go to a weight loss clinic and Get prescribed phentermine. It will help you shed those pounds if you want to.
