Is the posssible weight gain from the increased appetite side effect, or is the weight gain an automatic side effect from abilify itself? And, has the weight gain and/or increased appetite presented at the 2mg dosage? Thank you!
Is the possible weight gain from low dose of abilify (2mg) from increased appetite or from the drug?

The studies cited that say abilify usually causes weight loss are just that--studies. We don't know the authors or how many patients studied or for how long. I have seen my son gain over 50 pounds since starting abilify. If it is due to increased appetite, where did the increased appetite come from? He was OK before that.
