I have been on Effexor XR for almost a year and on Lithium for about 3 months, I take both synthroid and cytomel for my hypothyroidism. I have noticed a significant weight gain after adding the Li but after expressing this to my doctor she told me that it was because I wasn't exercising enough which is more than likely true. I guess everyone is different but that may be something you will have to deal with as for myself, the positive effects of the Li outweigh the negatives of weight gain. Hope this helps,
