Is weight gain typical for such a low dose of abilify (aripiprazole)? only on 5 mg worried it's making gain. worried about the whole sugar thing i read about abilify (aripiprazole)

Unfortunately, yes: There is some research to suggest that the weight gain associated with antipsychotics is independent of dose. Talk to your prescribing physician about your options if this continues to be an issue for you. Stay safe!
