Weight gain is not a certainty with Lithium, is this the only reason you avoid it? As previously indicated, I take a combination of 300 mg of lithium carbonate and 30 mg of lithium orotate. I have no side effects, and appear to be doing just fine. Even trace amount of lithium have been shown to have positive effects on the body and mind...
