Medicine side effect

I'm on Topamax seroquel and buspar and the Topamax has helped me lose 23 lbs in 3 and a half months. Topamax is also an off label use for weight loss I just learned that in one of my nutrition classes. Good luck :)

I've been lucky only saphris put weight on me.

It's so unfortunate that we even need to ask this question. For some of us, it drives treatment and although the med may not stabilize mood, we resist the change if we haven't gained weight. I know this cuz I've seen me do it. Hopefully, the pharmaceutical companies and doctors take this into consideration. There's nothing worse than being completely depressed and gaining weight.

The only one that made me gain a few was Zyprexa…according to my memory. I haven't had problems with Weight gain. The problem I have is tremor, hair loss. Depakote made hair fall out. It grew in Curley! These mood stabilizes all affect us differently, but gaining weight is a problem for many.

lamictal and klonopin had no gain. Seroquel big time. glad I'm off it.

Effexor Lamictal Risperidone Xanax and Ambien have not caused weight gain for me!

I've been on Lamictal for a while with no weight gain.

I've been on Latuda for 3 weeks and lost 3 pounds so far due to decreased appetite. It may just be a aide effect when you first take the drug. I'm not sure if it will last.

I'm on Cymbota, lamictal & safaris & haven't gained any weight this year but I have to be carefull because when I'm depressed I eat a lot.

I also take Wellbutrin XL

I was also told that lamictal doesn't cause weight gain.

Abilify hasn't caused any wt gain for me.

Abilify caused me to gain a ton of weight!!!!

Oh no…I'm sorry. I hope you have found something else that works for you faggy kay.

Wellbutrin, an antidepressant which is one that is safe for use for bipolar, usually causes weight loss.
Topamax usually causes weight loss as well.
