Feelings hungry on Abilify

Hey guys!

Just want to share new things I've notced abt me and Abilify. Well I always had a healthy appetite, but now, I'm on Abilify for 17th day now, feeling absolutely great compared to what a wrack I was.

But I am noticing I am always hungry. Like my tummy has no bottom. I eat A LOT and I mean A LOT.
Well I only gained 1 kilo (from 52 to 53 kilos) and I'm 162 cm tall.

I am afraid I'm going to gain weight. But I was also on Parogen (Paroxat) abpout which a very common side effect was gaining weight, yet, I only gained a bit of that but I think it's cus I was feeling so great on it.

Like now, I feel wonderful and I presume it's healthy to have a good appetite. Should I be afraid?

I have not particularly had increased appetite on aripiprazole but I believe this can be a side effect of it along with weight gain. I would keep an eye on it and try to stick to what you usually would eat and if you are hungry have something healthy like fruit. hopefully it will settle.

Cracked

I didnt get hungry on it , the side effects of the nausea and spinning of the room made me way too sick


bipolar 1
1.5mg clonzapam
225 mg limictol
300 seroquel XR
300 seroquel
25mg saphris

I experienced a slight increase in appetite on Abilify as well. However, I gained A LOT of weight on it, and given that I am recovering from an eating disorder that was not something that is very good.

Perfectly normal side effect.

Weight gain can be severe on antipsychotics, so be careful. THROW THAT DONUT OUT OF THE WINDOW BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE.


I find extremely hard to control med induced appetite.
