I am sorry to all who have gained weight through meds. I have in the past on various meds and it kills your self esteem and puts your physical health at risk. I agree with Christina. Big Pharma don't give a s*** and need to wake up and come up with weight neutral drugs for all situations. Right now I am lucky. I have a pdoc who won't give me weight gaining meds long term (ie. only when in crisis, like IP). If I start to gain weight I complain and am taken of said med and alternatives are sought. But everyone has a different reaction to meds. Like with Lithium I gained initially but lost it all later. My other meds have not affected me.
