Weight loss after not taking pills?

Hello there!

I was diagnosed with bipolar since I was seven and now I am 19. I am in college and Ive lost 19 pounds. Everywhere in my body seems to be getting bonier because of lost weight and it is bothering me. I always just thought it was from not eating right and everything lke stress going on in college, but Ive also stopped taking my pills for a couple months now, and I've been able to contorl my emotions but Im going through a huge weight loss for some reason.

I am taking equivalents to Depakote and Seroquil. Could someone please tell me whether or not I could be losing weight from me not taking my plls after so many years. Is my body just confused? Or would not taking pills after so long not prevent weight gain? I just dont know but I need to start gaining weight again because I went from 155 to 136 in a couple months while still eating regularly and doing the same stuff I have been doing,

Please help if you can!

It is possible that stopping the pills is causing some weight loss. However, there are a lot of things that could be the cause. You really need to go to your PCP and find out what's going on. Sudden weight loss can be a symptom of something serious.

Go see your doctor. Did you stop taking your meds on your own? What else are you taking? There might be a different medical reason? It could be something hormonal. If it concerning enough to ask the question here, then you really ought to ask your doc.

I think going off Seroquel could definitely cause weight loss on the order of 5-10 pounds per month, since I gained 5-10 pounds per month when I started it. So I wouldn't be surprised if it was the fact that you stopped taking Seroquel. Talk to your doctor or a nutritionist about gaining the weight back, and it would be a good idea to get a full body checkup by your doctor, since losing weight suddenly can be hard on your organs.

When I came off of Seroquel I lost over thirty pounds in four months. Then I had to be put back on it, gained 7 pounds in the first couple weeks, but haven't gained in four months. Years ago I was on Depakote and I gained forty pounds within five months. These drugs are nasty. Just my experiences. You should go see your doctor though.
