    Yeah it’s apparently a common first choice for bipolar (which is overly diagnosed). It made me gain a ton of weight, and then my doc was exclusively concerned about my weight from that point on, until I stopped going to him.

    Before that though, I was just like “I gained the weight because of a side effect from a med you gave me, for a condition that I don’t have. The weight is an issue that will be fixed if we look at the actual problem here, doc.”

    Ugh.
