Yeah, well, I have ballooned from them all--first the TCAs, the antipsychs, then the benzo belly, then the SSRIs and SNRIs, and finally lithium--lastly. On Lithium I have gained a lot of water weight, but have otherwise been losing weight, substancial. I expect I won't get down to my so-called ideal, but heavens above, I do believe | can manage some more. Try to see what your own reacion is mostly by trusting yourself, and then compare and check with pdoc. Good luck. I am chubby now, but the lithium has given me back a lot of peace of mind, which helps me deal with this terribly triggering subject--my weight. I go psycho on the subject of my weight and that ain't blowing up big, it's true. I can no longer weigh myself and keep stable. So hope for the best, do all they say to do, and maybe it will be your turn to be one of the non-gaining lithium users. Oh--one ting--just about everyone gains 4-8 lbds due to water retention. For some folks that will be all. Write me anytime, I love HEARING EXPERIENCES.
