My training partner was just diagnosed as bipolar type 1 and was placed on lithium 600mg and Zyprexa 10mg once a day.
Will training be able to mitigate some of the metabolic effects of the medication such as Elevated blood sugar levels and weight gain?
The increase in appetite is dramatic. Can those excess calories be utilized productively?
Thanks!
Attention on training and nutrition can likely mitigate some - although probably not all - of the adverse effects of these medications.
