For me I eat more when I'm depressed and less when I'm manic (that's just me.) But, when I'm depressed and eating more I am hungry constantly and can't seem to get full. It could possibly the same for you, except in reverse (since you eat more when manic.)
Right now I'm on 300 mg of lithium only and it's spotty since I forget to take my meds a lot.
