Depending on how your organism reacts to this antipsychotic it can cause weight gain or weight loss.
Hi, mur!
Abilify is considered "weight neutral" because the metabolic changes it can cause can go either way:
"Very common (10% or more of users): Increased weight (up to 20%)
Common (1% to 10% of users): Anorexia, decreased appetite, increased appetite, weight decreased, weight loss of at least 7%"
This doesn't affect every user and there may be no weight change at all for most people but it's possible that some people will gain weight.
