Basically the title. I started the year at 130-135 lbs as a 5'5 woman and I am now 180. In six months I gained 45+ lbs and I finally realized it was because of my abilify.
I was put on abilify for my bipolar about two years ago and I had the same experience, albeit to a lesser extent, and once I got taken off of it for an unrelated issue, the weight slipped off like wet soap in a prison shower with absolutely no change to my daily habits. Conversely, this time around I noticed the weight gain about five months ago and have been dieting and going to the gym 4+ times a week and I gained weight in ~8 lbs "boosts" every few weeks until now.
I am writing this with tears in my eyes because I thought there was something wrong with me for MONTHS. I dont LOOK anywhere remotely close to obese, yet here I am. But I am so excited to see these changes. I havent taken a picture of myself in 20 pounds. Maybe i’ll be confident again soon.
