I'm brand new here. My first question is does anyone take the new saxenda weight loss drug or know someone who does and have info on how it works with your bipolar meds?

Welcome.
I don't know, but what I'd do if I were you is to google it. There's a good website called askapatient.com where patients can post about they did on various meds. The reviews range from loving it the med to horror stories. I think it's helpful to see what others have experienced with different meds so you know what side-effects to watch for. Did the doctor who prescribed it know you're on bipolar meds?

Just read about it and it sounds a bit risky. It has a lot of side effects.
It does mention it is counter-indicated with depression or suicide. https://www.saxenda.com |

Why oh why can't they come up with a safe effective diet aid for those who need it! That and the fountain of youth should be top priority. The fountain of youth would be a permanent cure all for illness so it's efficient use of research resources.
Sorry, I've never heard of this drug. |

I followed the link Valentina provided. Frightening possible side effects! Have your health care providers discussed the ketogenic diet with you?
