Saphris
bipolar disorde
"I have been on various antidepressants since i was 18, with some relief at times.  I've been very functional all along but never happy.  I've used other illicit substances to self medicate.  I saw a psychiatrist when I finally got sick and tired of spinning my wheels. She diagnosed me with bipolar 2 and put me on saphris. For the first month,  I felt AMAZING. I was getting things done at home, at work,  and even nurturing a social life again.  The med still works weekly for my mood but I've gained 20 lbs in just 2months.  This is really starting to get me down.  The med had changed my life,  but I'm not sure how much longer I can deal with the weight gain.  If it weren't for the weight,  I would've given it a10."
