Bipolar Meds?!

Bipolar Meds?

Has anyone gained weight while on meds for bipolar ? If so did u ever lose the weight and if so how..

Unfortunately yes and unfortunately no. However, start off with low dosage. From what I was told, it is easier to gain with the higher dosages, so I take the lowest dosage and try to lose weight one day at a time. I know weight gain is crucial to me and with medication comes weight gain. This becomes a vicious circle because weight gain brings me down. Luckily, the lowest dosage helps me function and I can try to lose weight, but if you start and stay on a low dosage and its helping you, you have a "slimmer" chance of gaining any weight. Good Luck!
