    • I’m With You

      From Cathy27 October 27

      I also have bipolar and they put me on Seroquel to bring me out of a sever manic state. I gained about 40 pounds. I have since gone off of it but continued to gain weight, just slower. So I understand the impact that meds can have on appetite and weight gain. It is also hard to get motivated if your moods aren't stable.

      From caffiend115 October 12

      Hey! Thanks for the encouragement. It manes tons. My drinking is more of a college student thing. Thirsty Thursdays, F--ked Up Fridays, S--tfaced Saturdays...the usual. I'm not as bad as most kids but recently it's been once or twice a week. I'm just trying to tone it down again.

      Hope to chat with you soon. Congrats on being sober!
