[QUOTE="confuzzled, post: 472644, member: 8831"] there are lots of people who do wonderfully on abilify and love it, so its best to take a wait and see approach for your own's situation...she may do wonderfully. in our case, my gfg12 gained 60+ lbs. she also continually honeymooned on abilify...we'd have 6-8 decent weeks, and then same old, same old....and we'd increase to the next dose and lather, rinse, repeat. i dont really see much benefit to it in our case (except to say she [I]wasnt[/I] having auditory hallucinations, HOWEVER, we dont actually really know if she was to begin with), and the SE's just stink for a teen girl. we are gearing up to start the weaning process in hopes of getting off it totally. it was her only medication until this summer and we've since added stuff that seems to be much better choices for mine. (i'd have preferred to wean first, but frankly, school was starting and i wasnt up for *no medications* :grin:) mine was constantly RAVENEOUS too, and not the best eater to begin with. but dont let [I]anyone[/I] tell you its her diet, its her lifestyle, its [I]whatever[/I] if she starts to gain...its the medication.
