Advice on Abilify

i just started taking abilify and iv been nervous about taking certain medications because of their side effects. i lost a good 30 lbs but i think that was due to my depression...i pretty much had no appetite and i would drink like a fish. but now that im on it i seem to be very tired and have the lack of ambition to do much of anything. i was wondering if this will pass. and also if there is substantial weight gain involved. im currently on 10mgs for my depression and mood disorder and i also take lexapro for my anxiety and ocd along with klonopin. any insight would be greatly appreciated...thanx

thanx alot. i have a tendency to obsess over situations and my health, so the abilify has been a concern of mine. every other medication iv read into had such bad side effects like gaining weight. if your supposed to not be depressed, than how does gaining weight help ha. didnt make much sense to me. but thank you for the insight. i have been taking it for a week now and i think i was tired and lethargic because i was taking it at night and not getting very good sleep. i started taking it in the morning and it seems to be working better. only time can tell so we'll see

thank you brian

brian, i was on it awhile ago, helped me with my thoughts and general cognition. hoping the benefits of the drug kick in soon. the only s/e was when i withdrew from it, apart from that, i found it very helpful. all the best, jamie.
