Have you taken a med in hopes of getting a weight loss side effect?

There was a glimmer of hope when I started lamictal last year. It killed my appetite for the first couple of weeks and I lost five pounds. But everything went right back to normal shortly after. I was able to keep those few pounds off, though. Until depression crept back in these last couple of months.
Have you been able to maintain employment thus far with your bipolar diagnosis?
