I'm so sorry about the still sui Random  . The med weight gain issue is a misery. I have read something interesting about lithium, though...apparently, because lithium usually causes people to feel very thirsty, some tend to drink sugary drinks (soda, sweetened juice) in excess, which causes weight gain. If that's true, it's different than the typical AP cause of weight gain (that feeling like you're constantly extremely hungry). Maybe something to consider.
