Bipolar Disorder Support Group
Bipolar disorder is not just a single disorder, but a category of mood disorders marked by periods of abnormally high energy and euphoria, often accompanied by bouts of clinical depression. This is the place to talk about your experience with bipolar disorder, learn from others' experiences, and find support.
I have mentioned before that I have problems with my eating but I would not class myself as having an eating disorder, which is why I'm not posting on that board...I'm not a member.
I had an appointment with my pdoc today and he said he could see I'd lost weight since my last appointment (2 weeks ago). I honestly can't see that I've lost any but that's not really the point.
I'm on Mirtazapine and he said that I was the first patient he's ever seen (in 25 yrs of practice) to have reached a weight lower than when they this medication.
Has anyone else managed to do this?
It's just he keeps saying he wants to increase it and I have a feeling that he just wants me to increase it to make me put on weight again.
I have point blank refused to do this though.
What are your thoughts? Has your therapist ever said this to you, or wanted to put you on a medication just to make you fat again?

Why would your doctor want to make you fat? More likely he just thinks you need to up your dose.
...thank you...now I feel like a prize cow...

Bliss, you're tracking your wt, BMI and calories, your fitness, and you are trying to maintain or lose weight. And you think your doc is plotting to make you fat. Consider the possibility.
