My biggest concern about going on medication for my bipolar was the infamous side effect of weight gain. I've suffered with an ED and body dysmorphia since I was a child and the thought of gaining any weight at all fills me with unshakeable dread and drives me to tears. I've been on Quetiapine for about 10 days now and my doctor assured me because I'm on a low dose I won't gain weight - but I can already feel it's making me hungrier and I'm so so scared. It's so hard to resist and I'm terrified. I'm usually so good at resisting food and ignoring hunger but I honestly feel ravenous and I'm so afraid. I won't be able to cope if I gain weight.
