I agree that lithium isn't bad. I have been on it for a few months maybe 6? I haven't gained any weight. It is more natural imo than other meds. And I would hands down recommend lithium over depakote. The only complaint I have is sometimes it gives me stomach pains, but I take it at night so mostly it is not noticeable.
