Open Question: for those framiliar with bipolar disorder?

I was diagnosed with bipolar when i was 16 years old. I never gained weight from medication (when i was on it, which wasnt very long lol) but I met my boyfriend about 5 years ago and since meeting him i've put on some weight. i weight 135 and i would like to lose 20 pounds. I recently started taking lipo 6 and from what i've read, works amazingly!! but...i was on this stuff for two weeks and it really messed with me and made me worse than i normally am. My moods were more up and down than normal, i was more irratable, angry, i suffered from insomnia, and deff. more depressed. I alienated myself for three days. so i was forced by my bf to quit taking it. its been about three days now since i've been off the pill and i feel so much better, so i know it was the pills making me more crazy then normal. what the point is, does anyone know of anything that can help me along the way to lose weight that wont make me crazier? i do cardio and weight lifting 5 days a week, cut down my portions and trying to eat healthier but i feel like i cant do it with out that little nudge from some sort of dietary supplement lol someone please help.
