Psych says i need meds to get stable before i am safe to do dbt. but side effects = weight gain. i have bulimia and i cant cope with weight gain?

Follow: your Psychiatrist care plan and discuss your weight concerns. Eating healthy smaller portions and exercise will reduce the weight gain with psychotropics or selection of drugs with less weight gain or weight neutral
