See below: Abilify (aripiprazole) is far less likely to cause carbohydrate cravings than zyprexa. That said, cravings or trouble controlling food intake occur regardless of medications in many people.

Pdoc said Abilify (aripiprazole) is more "activating" than Zyprexa. At 30mg I am tired all the time. Is this due to Abilify (aripiprazole) or perhaps just stress from end of term?
