Greetings! I am new to this web-site, and so very glad that I found it. I am currently on 5 mg of Abilify (300 of Effexor, 20 Celexa and 100 Topramax) and the Abilify has worked wonders in helping my Depression. However, I have gained approx. 25 pounds (I was a 120 lb female) and counting.....I am torn. I workout, eat right (well, pretty well anyway, not bad enough for this crazy weight gain) and still gain the weight. I am looking to switch medications, but can seem to find (nor can my doctor - not that he's the "best") anything that works the same. Does anyone have any suggestions, please note, I am open to alternative, i.e. herbs, homeopathic, etc. Thank you in advance and make it a great day! P.S. I was on 40 mg of Celexa but couldn't keep my eyes open, when I switched to 20 mg it helped tremendously, just a tip in case it helps anyone,
