i do take a mood stabilizer; guess i forgot to mention that. i take Gabapentin (Neurontin), especially because of my body pain.
I think i probably need to go up a bit on the lexapro anti-depressant, maybe it's the winter blues kickin' in. |

| sorry for late response, i take lexapro, low dosage (2.5 of a 5mg tablet) since i also have bipolar. I used to take abilify for my bipolar depression and it just sucked the hunger right out of me. it took me almost a year to re-regulate my hunger/appetite. However, the lexapro hasn't done this to me... |
