Definitely a danger we all face with bipolar and steroids. My medical doc gave me a script for Bontril because I’ve gained 35-40 pounds in the past 9 months. I want to try it, though I got the script filled, I’m holding trying it until I see my psychiatrist on May 1. I know he’ll disapprove. At this point though, my weight is causing all kinds of other issues that are detrimental to my health. I am hoping he will agree to monitor me closely and let me try it.
Praying you get over your infection quickly and can get off the steroids.
Jen, this is something that is almost unnatural to have to deal with ! Yikes ! Modern medicine has wonderful cures and ways to manage illness ….but throw a little bipolar in the mix and geesh it can get ugly….I hope you feel better soon
