[|AI|]  Hello, Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor for posting your query. I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through. When it comes to weight gain in psychosis then Abilify is one of the best options. You should not think of any other option if your psychotic symptoms are controlled and if you already have weight related issues. Hope I am able to answer your concerns. If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you. In future if you wish to contact me directly, you can use the below-mentioned link:bit.ly/ Chat Doctor.
