(Newest replies first)

Updated

I have just started taking Abilify for severe anxiety and some depression. I am wondering if anyone has had problems with weight gain while using this medication.

While Abilify is known to cause weight gain, as a side effect, in studies it was shown to be less frequent, and lower wait gains, than other comparable medications, generally 1-10pounds.

Ref: Abilify Information

Other side effects may include nausea, somnolence, and mood changes.

Regarding the bowel issues, it has been known to cause constipation as a side effect, along with the associated pain, and cramping that can occur from it.

Is there anything else I can help with?
