You could try seeing a dietitian? That's what I do (but I also have an eating disorder).
The dietitian could help you keep your food and weight in check so that you don't have to go off of it if it's helping you. Good luck!

Well yes, the weight gain would stop, but I would still consult your doctor on mood stabilizer alternatives (Lamictal, Depakote, Tegretol and other alternatives)
