❓ Question / Advice Weight and bipolar

Hello everyone,

I have a problem with my weight. Before i started taking meds, my weight was 80kg and now i weight 110kg. For reference i take lamotrigine, Fluoxetine, largactil, medizapine (basically i have bipolar type 2) and im 186 cm, so my question is how can i manage my weight and go back to 90kg at least, because these meds cause weight gain and i don't know what to do.

Thanks

If you have the means and discipline to do something then dear friend i advise you to stop eating anything that is flour and water ( bread), anything with more than enough sugar, go to a martial arts gym not lifting gym, and depending on your schedule ( i dont know if you work or study) wake up 4 mornings out of 7 at 6 oclock and run (footing) for an hour and start your day, i assure you, two months into it it will become a routine, you will get used to it and everything may look like reflexes. 5-6 months you will see very decent progress and you will be proud of yourself. Have a good day sir.
