I'd take the weight gain, as unpleasant as that sounds. Unstoppable mood episodes are a far greater misery and far more dangerous for me. Of course I know that the weight gain can bring with it plenty of health issues, but if it didn't (or they could be controlled by medication/diet/exercise) they'd be better. A hell of a lot of people in this world are 50 lbs overweight even without psychotropic medications. It's not like you'd stand out that uniquely.

What are you most confident in doing?
