It is not a medicine which causes too much weight gain. You need have control over your diet, and physical activity. Also there are genetic causes for being over weight, should also be considered. Good luck.

I'm suffering from. Bipolar disorder, I take oxetol xr 150 mg single dose on alternate days. My situation has improved from past 10 years. I was diagnosed at the age of 12 with acute transient psychosis later I came to know that it's bipolar disorder. I usually had relapse once in 2 year or 1 year. Currently im taking maintenance dose i.e oxetol xr 150 mg. As a kid I have been always bright in my studies and sports. Medicines that have worked for me are encorate ,dicorate ,aripiprazole whenever I had relapse these medicines dosage have been increased and slowly within 2-3 months I have become normal. I personally feel that I should always take the maintenance dose. I'm working more than any average person, currently working as senior data scientist in mnc. I have done good in sports as well ,played state level tournaments. My current concern is my weight ,i want to maintain a healthy weight my height is 5'7 and my weight is 84. I want to maintain a healthy weight. I'm thankful to the suggestion given by my family psychiatry because of his suggestions and remedies only I have achieved everything in my life. Any suggestions and remedies to maintain a healthy weight will be appreciated. My current dosage is single oxetol xr 150 on alternate days. Is it possible to maintain a healthy weight with this dosage or not? Any ways to at least loose 10 kg weight with this medicine. Please help on this. Thanks in advance.

For reduce weight you have to follow food diet and exercise. Walking is the best exercise. Avoid oily food and more fruits and vegetables soup.

You should have proper sleep hygiene.
Sleep at same time daily.
Bed is only for sleep and romance only do not use your bed as a workstation
no coffee or tea after 3 pm
set the room temp at 70 degrees farenheit
take a bath 2 hrs before sleep with epsom salt
use diffuser with lavender essential oils in bed room
do not watch crime movies, watch comedy programs which will increase your feel good hormones
lack of proper sleep is the trigger factor for chronic lifestyle...more

My suggestion is to start Homoeopathic treatment side by side..and gradually stop the allopathic medicine..
They have side effects and taking them for long time is bad...
You can consult me through lybrate..

Sleep is a very important part of anyone's life more so a bipolar person. You can come off of medication if you combine medication with therapy and do not have any relapses or breakdowns for three years at least. Then your doctor will wean you off of your medication with careful monitoring.

Asked for male, 17 years old from Hazaribagh

I'm 17 years old and I have been taking oxetol-150 mg. I take 3 pills a day, i.e 1.5 in morning and rest at night. Initially my doctor told me to continue it for 4 years in the year 2008. Now it's 2019 but I still have to take it. Those days (2008-2012) I used to take 2 pills a day but my doctor increased the dosage to 3 pills a day. I want to know whether I have to consume it lifelong?

You will have to follow the advise as stopping the drug would result in recurrence of fits you have. Doctors usually start decreasing the dose if you have been seizure free for atleast 1 year.
