Hi, HOTSOUP! Sorry I'm sorry I'm slow in responding. I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder thirteen years ago and have been on many drugs. Each person has to find out what works best, alas, regardless of side effects. I suggest you talk to your doc about what's happening. Some drugs cause less weight gain than others, for example.

Keep posting! And hang in here. At least bipolar can be managed, although it's not a fun thing to deal with.
