Lybrate-user, What medications are you taking for bipolar? Lithium and atypical antipsychotics are known to contribute to weight gain. This is best managed by lifestyle modifications. Try to get cardiovascular exercise regularly. Avoid sugar and sugary drinks. Drink water to maintain hydration. Test for blood glucose to rule out type 2 diabetes. Some studies have indicated metformin helps in weight loss associated with psychiatric medications. Again a complete review of your condition and medications are required to advise.

Hi, There is no tablet for weight loss. You should ask your psychiatrist about change in medicine if you are on medication. Weight gain sometimes might be due to medicines. Check your lifestyle. Have quality diet, physical exercise and sleep. If you need more help then you can take online counseling with me.
