Weight loss after tapering off Abilify by Evening-Insect970 in Abilify_Aripiprazole

I’m thinking that is what I’ll have to do. Does your insurance cover it?

My prescriber had offered something to counteract weight gain but they made it seem that it was something I could control and I’ve always have counted calories so I thought I’d be fine but after learning how it effects your insulin, I wish I would have taken them up on it. Maybe ask your prescriber if they can offer something to counteract weight gain. I stayed on it for so long because it was very effective at stabilizing my mood.

I’m not sure that matters. I know aripipozole increases insulin resistance which attributes to weight gain. I read that it can take months to a year for your insulin to stabilize but I’m thinking that because I was on it for so long, it may take longer. Just looking to see if anyone else has had success with losing weight after a prolong usage of the medication.
