Bipolar Disorde
"This medication turned out to be awful for my 16 year old daughter who has bipolar 2 with paranoia.  She took 1 mg at bedtime for about 5 months and although it helped with extreme agitation, she had to increase dosage to 1.5 mg to keep outbursts under control.  After increasing she slowly began gaining weight due to crazy carbohydrate cravings.  She didn&#039;t want to change any medicines up, so we left it alone.  She gained 10 lbs. in about two months and began lactating!  She did not tell me about this until she had packed on an additional 10 lbs. in only one month (water?)!  She began looking very swollen and puffy.  Psych doctor changed her to Latuda and she has lost 9 lbs. in a week."
