Hi,
I have a question and if anybody is here with this sort of experience and probable solution. I have a disorder- bipolar mania and have been put to lithium. I have been taking lithium for 7 months now and I gained weight- 70 pouds!!! I was always athletic, but now I feel big. Have I gained weight because of Lithium?

Hello,
Yes it is very possible that you have. Ive gained weight on lithium also. Hmm¡Kthe only solution is exercise, exercise, exercise ƒº I did some research on lithium and I found that all antidepressants seem to decrease metabolism by about 15%, that is why ive gained weight on lithium. My suggestion is that you exercise, join some group, exercise together¡K once you start doing it, you shall rather quickly lose weight.
Good luck!
