Weight gain and abilify?! strattera!? - Bipolar Disorder Message Board

Llama · 01-21-2008, 01:44 AM

Ever since my increase in abilify I feel like a botomless pit. I am so hungry all the time. Will this pass? Should I ride it out or stop the med? I am sorry for freaking out about this all the time. I feel like I always need so much reassurance. But I do not want to gain any weight. I feel like I already have. ugh

And has anyone here been on strattera? Just wanted to get the inside scoop on this med. Can that cause weight gain? It's an ADD med.

Hey Llama: Strattera is for ADD and I think it's like an upper. My son who is 7 is on Concerta and he is soooooooo skinny he never eats during the day and when the med wears off her has like twenty meals. So if you do take that do not worry. How is the amblify? I was on Wellbrutin and now on Zoloft and I hear that Zoloft makes you gain weight.

I CAN NOT GAIN WEIGHT.

Are you ADD or Bipolar? I am BI=polar and am on Lamitcal it is good no weight gain.
