The reason that I can't take SSRIs is because they cause nocturnal enuresis (bedwetting), which is clearly a very strange side effect and doesn't happen to me unless I'm on an SSRI.
And I'm also Bipolar II and SSRIs cause me to cycle far more than tricyclics - although the tricyclics do sometimes induce dysphoric mania, but the Trileptal mostly takes care of this.
I'm concerned about gaining even MORE weight, as I was just hospitalized and refed SO quickly (fifteen pounds in nine days) and I'm trying to deal with that and learning how to eat again and I really really really don't want to have to worry about my meds causing extra weight gain, when I still have more weight to gain on my own.
