I have been on the medication for 10 months and have noticed a distinct inability to gain muscle, despite exercise and diet, that corresponds to when I started this medication.

Abilify is the least likely out of the antipsychotics to cause weight gain. I have posted about the antipsychotics in development that won't do this but they still are not approved medications yet.
