Bipolar Disorde
"I have been on various antidepressants since i was 18, with some relief at times.  I&#039;ve been very functional all along but never happy.  I&#039;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&#039;ve gained 20 lbs in just 2months.  This is really starting to get me down.  The med had changed my life,  but I&#039;m not sure how much longer I can deal with the weight gain.  If it weren&#039;t for the weight,  I would&#039;ve given it a10."
