Lithium didn't make me gain weight, even up till 1800mg, but I got toxicity and was in the ICU for a week with my kidneys shutting down.... I'd be more concerned with getting on something that helps and doesn't hurt you but if you have a little weight gain it's really not that much from meds and there are ways to get rid of/counteract it
