Well if it's any consolation, the weight gain on Lithium is NOTHING compared to the weight gain on Zyprexa!!

I'm on the combo of Lithium and Lamictal, and I think that is what finally stabilized me after a really crazy summer.

Only side effect I've noticed is acne. I look like a really old teenager.

Sometimes you have to put up with the side effects in order to be stable. It sucks.
