I suffer from Bipolar Disorder (type II) and take a mixture of quetiapine (an atypical antipsychotic) and citalopram/cipramil (an antidepressant). I find that I binge quite badly when I am in a depressive stage (especially because the quetiapine makes me into a total carb fiend) and no matter how healthily I eat the rest of the time these binges stop me losing a significant amount of weight. I also find it virtually impossible to exercise during depressive periods.
Does anyone have similar problems, or know someone who does, and if so can you give me some advice? It would be greatly appreciated.
