Hi!
I know some of us deal with weight issues due to meds, and I wanted to share my recent success.
I am bipolar, and took lithium for about four years. Over that time, I put on almost 50 pounds!
Last year at this time, I started transitioning from lithium to Lamictal. Now, one year later, I am ten pounds lighter. The weight is coming off slowly, but I'm excited. On lithium, it was like whatever I did, I couldn't lose weight.
So I wanted to tell you all that it CAN happen. Meds can mess with your weight. But eventually you can find the right meds for you, and take the weight off.
