Yikes! I am getting used to the Abilify - sleep great on it, but I am always hungry! And I have been eating lots of food and never getting full!
I can't add Topamax (used it in the past and it caused bladder problems).
Is there anything I can add to the Abilify to stop the hunger and unstoppable eating?!
Help before I eat again!

Poor Trish. You don't have good luck do you? Abilify rarely cause hunger. In fact, it's one of the few AP that is weight neutral. Is there anything else that might be causing it? How long have you been on it?

Um, could you try the Topomax again and drink lots of water? I was on Topomax and it gave me bladder problem (well, urinary tract infections) and I drank a lot of water and it helped.
*hugs*
Maybe it will level out. You won't keep eating and eating. :)

> MaximeYes - I'm afraid I'm going to have to try Topamax again. I've gained 6 lbs so I must stop eating. I'm calling my doc today. I think the Topamax will help.

You beat me out Trish. I stopped Abilify a few days ago and finally today the swelling is starting to go down. He wants to put me on Geodon instead...not sure if I have it in me to try another new med again so quick!
Good luck to you.
