In reply to Weight issues + meds..., posted by SheilaC on June 26, 2007, at 6:39:28

Well, you already know that you can't take the two known to be weight-friendly, so you do have a bit of a puzzlement... The best I can come up with, off the top of my pointy little head, is to start thinking of combinations...

What is your dx? Are you BPI or BPII, or is this more depression with comorbid anxiety? And are you on any other medications? All of those can impact the decision about drugs.

My first thought is to combine a mood stabilizer with Wellbutrin, to see if that minimizes any weight gain. Unfortunately, that's about the level of suggestion I'm coming up with right now... Maybe a little more time to think, and a little more information will allow me to be more useful. And there are a lot of people here who will offer better suggestions than I can right now, anyway.

I'm also curious, though: if you do well with Klonopin or Xanax, why does your doctor want to switch you? (That's my dorky "if it ain't broke..." side coming out...)

Good luck.
