Hi cgirl, I take abilify and had the opposite effect, I think I put on about 15 pounds. But then I also had quit smoking so I think that had something to do with it too. What dosage are you taking? I started off at 5 or 10, I can't really remember. I take 30 mg now a day in the morning. It never made me tired though, have you felt any relief for the racing thoughts from being on it yet? I know that was the most profound benefit for me and made me believe I truly was BP II. Because once things slowed down and I felt better I knew how bad I had been feeling and I couldn't deny the truth any longer. I've been on it for a few years now and have been pretty stable but I also take Elavil and am weaning off wellbutrin.

ANything specific you want to know cgirl?
