A member asked:

Is it possible that my appetite could be decreasing while i am taking abilify (aripiprazole)?

Dr. James Saccomando answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Possibly: One thing i've leaned as a psychiatrist is that just about anything is possible. I suspect that in starting Abilify (aripiprazole) you may have stopped taking a different antipsychotic that may have been causing an increase in appetite. Abilify (aripiprazole) is supposed to be weight neutral.
