In reply to abilify, increase hunger after upping 5mg extra, posted by Jeroen on February 24, 2011, at 16:54:23
An increase in hunger is common on Abilify and no reason to suspect that you're in a pre-diabetic state. I realize that Abilify has occasionally been linked to a disturbance in blood sugar levels in some people, but an increase in hunger really isn't an indicator of anything other than the fact that you will be more likely to gain weight unless you really watch what you eat. You'll have to get a fasting blood sugar level to determine if you're having problems with your blood sugar.
If it's any consolation, I took Abilify for about 2 years and never and had problems with blood sugar, though it did increase my cravings for sweets. Good luck!
