Bipolar Disorder, Gaining Weight. On Quilonum. What Can I Do?

I am so tired of dieting and have bought every type of pill and health food and equipment known to man..... I am on medication for Bi-polar (almost 1 year now) and have gained approx. 10 kg on an already overweight body!! The med is quilonum SR 900 mg per day I think I need to stop taking this type of medicine and find another that doesnt have this side effect. Can you suggest anything?? i now weigh 117 kg on a 6 2 female body

Hi
Thanks to contact us.

May I know your height? I guess your age is 62 and present body weight 117 Kg which is very alarming. Don't be attracted with any market pills that claim to reduce weight. It has side effect.

Start Yoga Pranayama 45 mins per day. Do n't be attracted with FAST FOOD and Junk Food.
Avoid Red meat, cheese, butter, Yoghurt and other Toxic food
Drink plenty of water at least 5-6 liter / day
Intake 1250 Kcal Diet only.

Please inform us ,if you have any post Menopause symptoms Or disease.

Take care
God Bless you
