Has anyone out there seemed to experience blotchy skin or acne along with swelling or edema on Abilify?

It's supposed to be weight neutral but it seems to make me so hungry plus continue to swell up. also I started to have noticeable acne around the same time I started taking it.

Any of those things could be unrelated to abilify, so I'm wondering if anyone else noticed any of those things occuring when they started this drug. If so, did it ever go away? Esp the hunger???

Thank you for any responses you may have!

the brand was great value, which is a walmart distributed brand. to be honest it almost tastes to good to be true. i was under the imprssion maltodextrin was a simple carbohydrate of a starch origin, it also contained aspartame but in a lesser amount.

I was wondering if anyone knows of a good psychiatrist that will prescribe Xanax. My old psychiatrist was real stingy with the prescriptions---but I think the benefits outway the risks. I feel crazy and like I am going to die when I have an anxiety attack--and sometimes mine last for hours on end (not just a few minutes)...

Anyone know of a good doctor in Houston, Texas?

It is a legit and necessary for my existance--and I am almost out of my medication! Thanks.

Okay I really need some serious advice and please help me, I'm 16 and 5 foot 3 and I weigh 130 pounds, I'm not FAT but I would like to lose at least 10 pounds, the fat goes especially to my thighs and i really HATE that, the thing is, I just cant commit to doing anything, i cant go outside to exercise cuz my mom is just to busy and i cant go alone, so i just eat and eat and never stop so i want to do something before it gets worse. I swim at least 4 times a week and i know that that is good, I always say that I REALLY want to lose the weight and I eat healthy and then the next day i go and eat like a pig again, i just cant seem to get control of it even when i really really want to, please help me of what I can do to eat healthier or at least control myself, thank you very much!

I have high blood pressure. I looked on www.calorieking.com
The fat content is very low. But the sodium content is outrageous. This can't be healthy????

I had a bad experience with Captain Morgan in orange juice (bad mixing idea I know). Anyway, I cannot even look at orange juice without getting a bad taste in my mouth. The same goes with Coke, I lost taste for that because I had it once with Captain Morgan. Basically, the smell of Captain Morgan gets me uncomfortable.

This happened over 2 months ago, so is the best solution forcing myself to drink OJ and Coke again, or just let time pass?

It's so nasty and i cry about it because it makes me feel horrible. I ordered this cream called free derm hc, but it hasn't seemed to make the eczema go away.
