Now that I've stopped the Nardil, I would have expected that it would be easier for me to lose weight through dieting. It has not been. I have managed my weight with nortriptyline in the past. Maybe it's the Abilify that is acting as a culprit along with the nortriptyline.

My skinny son gained a TON of wieght when on Abilify. Sorry I don't remember dose, but pretty sure higher than yours. I took him off and replaced it with Seroquel. He's lost most of the wieght. I know someone else who is currently on Abilify, again, probably larger dose than you, he gained I think 50lbs the first couple months on and I believe is now dangerously overweight. This is what I hear from his Mom.
So in response to your post, I believe Abilify could definately be the culprit.
Hope you are well, Jade
