I have some questions for the group, so I'd appreciate your feedback if you feel comfortable answering the below questions. Thank you!

Anyone have crazy carb/sugar cravings? Anyone have major weight gain? Other side effects? Do you think a higher dose made your cravings worse? Did it seem to make your BED/EDNOS worse?

Thanks!

    Hey!

    I'm on Abilify, and have been on it since it was a trial drug several years ago (I was one of the lucky peeps who got to try it before it was marketed), and for me I've honestly found that it helped with my BED, and other related EDNOS stuff, because I'm able to think more clearly, and it also did seem to reduce my appetite a bit (not a lot though), and I didn't have any weight gain from that drug, though I have had weight gain from other drugs. And I'm on the highest marketed dose (30mg), and haven't seen a switch in my BED patterns since increasing the dose (the first change was when I started the medication, initially, not when they upped my dose).
