I have been taking 1000 mg of Depacote for 4 years now and I am hungry 24/7. I heard Abilify does not make one feel this way? Any truth to that ?

I hated depokote. I had to take so many pills everyday because I kept getting ammuned to it and I gained alot of weight on it. I took abilify for a short time but I don't remember it making me hungry. I have heard many people complain about depokote making them hungry and gain weight. I took Lamictal for a long time and it never made me gain weight or get overly hungry. Maybe you can talk to your doc about trying it. It is a slow process building up to a theraputic dose with Lamictal, but I loved it. I went off it because I went on Lithium and I didn't need to be on 2 mood stabs anymore.
