This message ties into a lot of other threads on the board. I am a sophomore in college and a female. I have had bi-polar disorder for over 6 years now and I have also been struggling with overeating, primarily binging. I want to be thin so bad but it seems I ony can get that way if I stop taking my meds and either take supplements, which further screw up the chemicals to keep me stable in my body, and if I exercise constantly at the same time. It's like choosing between being happy on the outside or being happy on the inside. The thing is, when I get stable on my meds I also tend to be overweight and that just makes me flip a 180 and then I am even more depressed. I guess i just need some advice on new drugs out besides depakote and welbutrine, that could help me achieve both weight loss and emotional stability. If anyone can help...
Exhausted, Jen
