I'm not sure what your "diagnosis" is - I'm BPII and am currently taking Celexa, Neurontin, and Topamax. The Topamax is a mood stabilizer and has actually helped me lose weight. Perhaps it's an option for you. Some people have trouble with its side effects, some don't, just like all meds.
Good luck. I'm so tired of people not being supportive about this issue. I completely understand where you're coming from.
