I am 21 years old, I am bipolar. l used to take depakote and zyprexa. l stopped taking them about a week ago. l have been taking them for years. l just came off of them all of a sudden and the doctor does not know about it. l decided to come off of these meds because they made me hungry all the time. Eating alot makes people gain weight. I am afraid of getting fat so l do not wanna gain weight, in fact, l wanna lose some more. Since I've come off of them I've been eating alot less and it is much easier to stick to my starvation diet (under 700 calories a day). I am currently 5'8 and about 114 pounds. According to the height/weight charts, I am underweight, which to me is BS because l still do not think l look thin enough, so l wanna lose more. The problem is that recently I've been feeling sickly all the time, l always have a headache, l feel nausous all the time, and l have flu-like all the time. Do these drugs have withdrawl effects like these or is this the starvation? I am not going back!
