A member asked:

Do most people tolerate abilify (aripiprazole) without weight gain?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

FOR THE MOST PART: Many patients do but there is weight gain associated with all medications in this class. Some worse than others like zyprexa and seroquel (quetiapine). Diet and exercise help.
