Does anyone else here think that it is time for the pharmaceutical companies to work on developing some Meds that don't cause this massive weight gain? For BP, almost all cause tremendous weight gain. That coupled with the crippling effects of dealing with bipolar itself doesn't make me wonder at all why there is such a high rate of suicide associated with bipolar. Something is wrong here, if you ask me.
