Taking bipolar meds. and not losing

Post-op and after reaching goal I was diagnosed with Bipolar disorder. The meds I am on are prozac 20 mg once a day, depakote 250 mg three times a day, clonazepam 3 times a day. I gained weight while doctor adjusted my meds. I need to lose 25+ lbs. to re-reach my goal but I am not losing anything pounds or inches.  How many calories should I intake? What can I do differently because I feel like a failure for not reaching and maintaining my goal? PLEASE HELP!

I took depakote when I was first diagnosed about 10-12 years ago.  I gained as well.  I take a weight-neutral drug now (Lexapro).  Some drugs just have that side-effect.  The only advice I can give is to start with the basics and maybe meet with your NUT.

I too have bi-polar. I knew about this before i had my bypass done but was sure it wouldnt be a big deal. It has been a year and now im unable to lose the weight. Everyone is telling me that its the meds im on that are keeping me away from my goal!!!!

I am also bi polar and struggle with this, when the meds are working it makes it harder because you feel good is what my psychiatrist told me.  I just tell myself it is head hunger and try like hell not to eat.  It isn't easy but it can be done.  I wish you the best of luck.  Some days are better than others for me.
