In reply to Low Dose Lithium and Weight loss? , posted by SueT on July 20, 2003, at 22:44:04

Hello,
I take Lithium 600 mg; recently started dividing it into 300 mg in am and 300 mg in pm and am totally confused about whether it's more effective to do this or just take it all in one shot (at night). I take it for both BPII and to augment my SSRI.
As far as weight is concerned, well the lowest dose of Lithium I have been on is 450 mg a day of Eskalith (time release) and on both that dose and my current 600 mg I have not lost nor have I gained weight. However, I think if I made some changes in my food intake I MIGHT be able to lose some weight! I don't think my inability to lose is due to meds, but who can be sure!
I tend to AGREE with your doctor that a *mere* 300 mg a day of Lithium, you will NOT gain weight.
