   I take medication for bi-polar and I actually lost a little weight. I’m on the thin side of normal.
   I take:
   Geodon 40 mg (for mania)
   Lamictal 200 mg (for mood stabilizer)
   Abilify 10 mg (for depression)
   That med mix took a long time to find… but I do recommend taking medication for your condition.
   I’ve been “crazy” too and put in a mental hospital, but I have never had a problem when I take Geodon which is for mania like that.
   Good luck finding a med mix that works for you! I think that’s the best solution because then you can have the best of both worlds… a lucid mind and a good body.
   (Not sure about stop smoking advice though.)

   i’m bipolar also. wellbutrin works great for alot of people. now, personally, i just started taking it, so i cant say for sure if it will work for me (or you). but that’s a very popular one out there. it sux tho, b/c when you’re on it (or most SSRI’s) you can’t take any weight loss meds. so, its a give and take.
