Hi everyone-
I am Bipolar II and also Bulimic. I've been adamant with my Dr. about not taking meds that will possibly make me gain weight, but my depression had gotten really bad lately.
He prescribed lamictal yesterday in addition to the Trileptal and Wellbutrin I already take, and said it shouldn't make me gain weight, but he had no guarantees.
I've read conflicting information, people have said they've rapidly gained a lot of weight and others have lost or not gained at all. I know my health and stability should be my first priority, but if anything is going to make me suicidal, it would be weight gain. I realize that's twisted logic, but that's how my head works.
If anyone can offer some information or experience, I would really, really appreciate it.
Thanks.
