This has almost surely been discussed and probably a lot, but forgive me for not searching. I just don't have the energy. A question. I'm terrified of weight gain that is out of my control. I'm 5'4" and 114 lbs and I'd like it to stay that way. I eat healthy food, drink only water (and lots of it...even gave up caffeine), do yoga daily, and exercise regularly (except when just too depressed, but my partner usually drags me out for at least a hike). Is weight gain on this drug unavoidable? Has everyone here who has been on it gained weight? A lot of it?
Has anyone remained at the same weight or been able to manage it? I just don't see what I could do to lose weight if I started piling it on for no reason.
Thanks all. I just really want to try Lithium, but I fear this side effect and would like anecdotal info before waltzing in and asking for it.
