Hello ladies, I am new to 3FC and have been searching through the threads. I was just diagnosed with bipolar 2 months ago, after completing treatment for breast cancer. I am a breast cancer survivor and hope to stay that way!
I have suffered from bouts of mania, irritaion, then depression my entire life. It was only after I was sent to a BC therapist that I learned it was a mood disorder. So much in just a short time.. Why is it that the drugs seem to cause weight issues? That is the biggest thing I have noticed when searching through side effects of these meds. I too went on medifast befoe I started radiation and lost 26 pounds. Through rads I went back to eating whatever and gained it all back! well duh!! Right now I have started back on LC and am hoping to at least get jump started.
