Is anyone here bipolar type 2? When I get manically depressive, I overeat a ton, eating close to 5000+ calories. When I get manically happy, I can easily go without food and lose weight. It's put me into sort of a rut in trying to lose weight.

I recently went to a psychiatrist for the first time in my life, and he's put me on lamotrigine (lamotrigine is a mood stabilizer, for those unaware). I won't be at full dosage until November 16th, but I'm hoping getting my mood normalized will help me lose weight.

Does anyone else have any experience with life changes after medication?
