you always gain weight when starting medication but with constant use it eases... i cut sugars and fried carbs...only drink water with lemon and no sugar instead of juices or sodas

@A08041988 These medicines do have its pros but also its cons. Sometimes I am bad without them, yet can focus better on my academics without them so its a no win situation. Can you relate to what I am tell you at all?

@MortgageCami Do you mean "abilify"? I was on that medication. I didn't gain weight (I did though on geodon and seroquel). I had trouble swallowing on this medicine and often had a tight feeling in my throat. I also felt tired and just very strange altogether.

@MortgageCami In the beginning I hated the weight gain, I felt so fat and yucky. I am used to it now though so I don't really mind it. LOL BUt I wouldn't be complaining if I lost all the weight either...haha
Do NOT take Abilify. This drug causes extreme weight gain--approx. 7 pounds per month. And the weight gain DOES NOT level off over time. The akathesia (inner restlessness) is HORRIBLE. Being still is nearly impossible, even when I'm exhausted. Abilify also causes insomnia, joint pain and stiffness as well as hair loss. If anyone tells you there is no or very little weight gain with tihis drug, don't believe it. Diet and exercise won't solve the weight gain problem either. BEWARE!"

@pyramidhead138 Yeah I had the akathisia really badly on Abilify.

Nicole I am just really happy you are back on youtube doing videos :) They really help a lot of people out so thank you. Puppy sounds like he's going to be a big boy, but dogs are worth it just got to put up with some shit :) About the smoking, what about getting a hookah. I think it's supposed to be much better for you than cigarettes, definitely more social. Good to see you laughing though and the weight c'est la vie, everybody thinks you look really good so it can't be too bad haha

@rarimapirate9 Thanks, yes the puppy is such a handful! But I'm sure she will be better when she grows up a bit. A hookah, that is actually kinda funny. Haha.

Puppies can make you nuts! I have requested video. People often say that bipolar is hereditary. Do you have any family members that you are aware of who are diagnosed or who you think might be bipolar? Thanks.

@jojocookies1269 Well my grandfather had schizophrenia, my mom suffers from depression as well as my brother so I do have people that deal with mental health issues in my family.
