Some people have a type of 5-HT2c receptor (genetic polymorphism) that protects them from weight gain. You probably have this type.

> Isn't abilify one that causes weight loss?

Apparently, not. That's why I asked the question. I am still retaining weight, and Abilify is the only possible culprit. The other drugs I am taking never affected me that way.
