I ended up eating too much fat and not enough carbs.
You might find that works better for you.
The whole low-carb/moderate carb/timed carb/low GI/low GL/whatever thing is a source of endless controversy. But my impression is that there's a lot of individual variation; some people find their bodies "run better" with lower carbs, some with higher carbs.
For me, I've found that if I stick at a moderate level of carbs, mostly from fruit and veg, my energy levels are far more stable and I don't get "crashes" a few hours after meals.
So IMHO it's worth experimenting a bit, paying attention to how your body responds, and seeing what works best for you.
Re: fats, as long as they're mostly "good fats", it can be a good thing.
ETA: Forgot to mention -- you may know about this already, but there's evidence that some psych meds affect glucose metabolism and/or can cause carbohydrate cravings:

So, further reasons for those of us on crazymeds to tinker around and find out what works best for us re: carb levels.
