Hi all,
I am new to the forum, and I have been diagnosed with BP II in addition to my Fibro, anxiety, sleep disturbance,etc.
I have been on several anti-psychotic and suffered a lot from many of them and get hospitalized. The only one that is working is Serequel. I also take my mood stabilizer (Lithium).
I am desperate for gaining back a stable self confidence and self esteem. As you may all know that these medications (Serequel) or others needed in our case, is suppressing the metabolism which is directly proportional to gaining weight.
I am putting my self over diet programs and also trying to exercise though I hurt my self due to the chronic pain and weakness in my body from joint issues...
I am still gaining weight or cannnot loose weight. I am really asking all of you about your recommendations that you have tried with a success regarding weight loss or diet scheme that can work while the medication is slowing down our metabolism engine.
I am in negative feedback circle as adding weight is depressing me and slowing any stability for our mood and case. Kindly please contribute with all of the ideas and let us enrich this post with practice and optimistic ideas and solutions to manage our weight under bipolar medications.
Thanks for your contribution in advance.
Sandra.
