Guest guest Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 Are there any new medications that do not cause weight gain? My daughter has autism as well as OCD and very limited verbal skills. She was on Abilify and it did help to decrease her behaviors but her appetite was non stop and the weight gain was immediate and she kept gaining the entire time she was on it, I finally had to pull her off of it for fear she was going to suffer physically as a result. She has also tried other meds including fluvoxomine. We finally 9 months ago pulled her off of all meds and have tried to keep her anxiety down and avoid triggers but OCD is again consuming a huge portion of her day and making it hard for her to learn. I hate the thought of putting her back on medications as she can not tell me if she is suffering side effects but at the same time I am desperate to not let the OCD swallow her entire day. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
