Hi Meigg,

welcome to the forum! you'll love it here!

I am not on these medications either. I had a unipolar depression, and then was diagnosed as BPII by one doc because I became hypomanic on prozac (stopped sleeping, was working 16-18hrs per day). I did gain 40lbs on antidepressants, in 6 months, just like you, strange, because I actually was eating much less while on medication. I find the zone diet perfect for my health in every aspect. wishing you great success as well. If you continue fluctuating between the two poles of mood range, you could adjust your diet appropriately. Ultralowcarb Atkins brings my mood down and Zone up. are you taking your fish oil and vitaminE supplements already? I find higher doses of fish oil (up to 9g per day) superb for myself.

hugs,
Mila
