I am pretty much off Seroquel, but have it PRN if I have insomnia for several days at a time. I think the Lithium is the culprit, and I told my p-nurse that I would like to stop taking it since I am not at a therapeutic level. She said we will talk about it next time I go.
Abilify causes weight gain in most people. As does lithium. I gained 30 pounds in one month of being on Lithium. I switched to Trileptal and I hope the weight will come off with diet and exercise.

Have you ever tried lamictal? It's often used instead of Lithium and it is not a weight gainer.
