>Hi Ed, Lithium has never helped me in the past and I have been on it 3 times. I have never been on a low dose (150 mg) I have been on 300 mg, 600 mg, and 900 mg. It tends to turn me into a zombie and it makes me gain weight at a rapid pace. My GP and endocrinologist are really worried about my weight gain and they said I have to lose about 60 pounds! I could never lose that much if I am on Lithium.
