My mom, who was diagnosed bipolar 1 last year, has been on olanzapine and depakote until she abruptly stopped taking them a month ago . Her main reason is that they have caused her to gain like 80 pounds over 7 months. Which - fair. I’m wondering if anyone here has had a family member who gained weight on these drugs have success losing weight with a weight loss drug while still being on the bipolar meds. If so, what was the weight loss drug? I’m just grasping at straws trying to convince her to re start her medication because she has already started to spiral and I really don’t want to have to hospitalize her again.
