Are there any meds used for bipolar that *won't* make you gain weight? The second time around with Risperdal, I'm having that particularly unlovely side effect of wanting to eat everything, all the time -- and since I'm already at least 80 lbs. overweight, I don't need to add any more poundage. (Nor does my barely-extant self-esteem need the hit.)

Don't have a pdoc appt. till the 27th, but can call before then and ask to switch to something else. I can't take Lamictal anymore, Trileptal and Topamax didn't work, and I had every side effect under the sun with Depakote. What's left?!

thanks

CB
