Not really because I was put on lithium while still only dx'd with MDD. I had no idea it would cause weight gain and for me it caused a LOT. So when I started depakote 6 months later I was 60 lbs heavier and wasn't worried about it as much as I was about feeling better. Funny enough depakote didn't cause me to gain, at least on the lower doses.

What is your weight control strategy?
