"Fairest Mania"
Wince com'est thou, fairest Mania?
I don't recall your golden wings
Affixing to my arms
But I recognize the stars as they grow near;
Their brightness and swirling colors
Are hopelessly alluring;
Yet as I near them your wings fall off,
And back I plunge, unrequited, to
The dark, cold, and lonely moon.
I can't keep this up,
You know that, don't you?
To love you, I must plunge as deep
As you soar high, which only
Costs me my mind.

MEDICATIONS and WEIGHT GAIN
| All one needs to do
is read the letters to Dr. Phelps to know how prevalent the
problem of weight gain from bipolar medications is. It
is a very difficult thing to deal with - when the choice
seems to be stability on meds or gaining weight. There
are some things that do help.
We have put together a fairly extensive section on
this subject
HERE.
In addition we have a
Weight Wall,
a place for you to
relate your experiences with meds and weight, tips for
controlling the gain etc.
