Weight Gain on Bipolar Meds

Put on 30 pounds with depakote.

Gosh I put on 40 pds in 4 months cause of bipolar meds

Major weight gain that I am trying to cope with- you’re not alone 💕

Antipsychotics are the main weight gainer of meds used to treat bipolar disorder. Lithium, Depakote, and Tegretol are mood stabilizers and are also associated with weight gain. Lamotrigine is not. Good luck.
