I understand how you feel. I've been dealing with the same thing. I recently stopped taking Risperdal. I take Lithium and I've read reviews of ppl that gained and didn't gain weight. I've been on Lamictal for a few weeks so I'll give it time to work. But I already told my pdoc I want to stop Lithium. I think your pdoc should understand you guys are a TEAM. Their services are not a dictatorship. It's one thing to advise a patient against something w/ a valid medical reason. But getting fatter and fatter causes medical problems.

Stay strong
