So I saw doc Wednesday and he wants me to start lithium 300 2xs a day. I was on it once before for like a week I think when we first talked of me having bipolar like 1 1/2 year or so ago but I freaked out and just stopped taking it and stopped seeing my doc. I don't remember what it was like and I am nervous to be on it, especially with all the other meds I'm on. Doc says once I am at the right dose I can probably go off of some of the other meds I'm on.

Can anyone who is on lithium offer their experience. I know this sounds so petty but I am so concerned with weight gain. I will flip my lid if I gain weight , that's a deal breaker for me. As petty as it sounds that will send me into a depression in itself! I know everyone reacts different but just curious how most people's experience has been. Thanks in advance!
