I gained weight fast and easy on Abilify. I also retained a lot of water (which was awful). I tried 5mg and then 2mg and even just 1 mg of Abilify and no luck. Abilify just mad me fat. I liked how it made me feel. It really helped my mood, but I just couldn't take the weight and water gain anymore.
I think weight and water retention can happen with anti-psychotics. I also had the same problem with I tried Risperdal.
Also - my doc wouldn't give me Metformin - not until/unless the anti-psychotics gave me diabetes!
