Was Maintaining 85 pd weight loss before accidental Pregnancy and now everything has gone to the crapper except for my mood stability and ability to function (hmmm...really great stuff)

hi this is a new post by WONGA
I've read this post since 2002. I am starting lamictal on monday 12.22.03 Right now I am on the "cleansing of my system" no meds deal. Good thing I'm working approx 4 hours overtime every night at my job. What perfect timing!! I am bipolar w/ mixed states, mostly aggitated depression. I was diagnosed 2 yrs ago during my jr yr of college. I have been on Lithium and depakote as mood stabilizers. I have tried trazadone, remeron, and celexa as AD. I have gained 25lbs over the past 2 yrs and am really sick of it. not to mention the fact that i can't get through a week without breaking something, cutting myself, or passing out (the depakote and AD combos I tried made my potassium levels drop due to the massive amount of sodium or so the drs tell me) I am hoping the the lamictal works and that there is no more weight gain although the threads on the post don't make that look promising. :( My goal is to be at 100mg/day of lamictal in 6 wks and 1mg/day of respirdal (a new mood stabilizer that i was on in tiny does before) the dr is now telling me that even though my depression is severe he thinks i will be fine on 2 mood stabilizers. if anyone has some encouraging words I could sure use them. This has been a tough 2 yr battle and I'm sick of fighting
