Dark heart ... thats my biggest issue ,, the weight gain will cause elevated blood suagr which I have gone thru .. I refuse to become diabetic to "maybe" become a little more stable with my bipolar.

Its really a Lousy situation for anyone needing psych meds and damn near every single one has the weight gain issue...

I see my Pdoc tomorrow and hes wanting me to try Fanapt .. my research says per the company its " weight neutral" ..I dont know Some days im ready to say " listen im 44 you just figured out im bipolar whats the mad dash to get my moods stable now ?

I have dealt with anorexia for years ..and taking psych meds is HORRID !

I hope one day that eventually the damn big Pharm's will come out with medications that dont cause this ridculous weightgain ..
Thanks for this!
