Wow. I have never heard of Lithium not causing weight gain. I have heard from three friends it would turn me into a zombie and cause me to balloon. At 350 lbs I cannot afford to gain weight. I wouldn't care if I was a normal sized person, but I can't go from morbidly obese to the over 400lb club. Anyone else think Lithium is the answer?

All I am on now is Ziprasidone, no mood stabilizers. Honestly, I really really hate it because even though it did work (I'm no longer manic) it threw me into the worst depression I have felt in a while.. and I am SO neurotic- worrying nonstop and being very insecure.
