Good afternoon, for bipolar disorder I am being treated with Abilify. I started with the dose of 400, since after eight months I had a weight gain of 10 kg, I went to 300 a month and now I will start 200. At the moment I have not had any improvements. I wonder if with the lower dosage I will be able to lose weight.
Thank you

There is no certainty that you will be able to lose weight after reducing the dose of Abilify.
First of all, it is worth taking care of proper hydration, regular physical activity and a healthy diet.
It may be worth taking advantage of a teleconsultation with a diabetologist:

The advice is provided in Polish.
Side effects observed should be reported to the doctor, who will decide on further treatment. We write about why adverse drug reactions should be reported here:
