any tips to avoid lithium weight gain? my psychiatrist recently prescribed 150 mg, he doesn't think my weight will be affected but i'm still extremely scared. i exercise a few times a week and my appetite is practically nonexistent as a result of my ADHD meds. is there anything else i should be doing?

I've been on Lithium for over 6 years and haven't really had weight problems. I did gain weight from Zyprexa though. Medications affect everyone differently. So you may have nothing to worry about!

I’d say wait and see. When mine found out I gained 20Lbs in 2 months he took me off of it and said to never take it again ✋
Are you at a healthy weight?? If you are, wait it out and see. If you're overweight, discuss your concerns with your physician. If you're underweight, I wouldn't worry as some weight gain may be beneficial.
