> I am back on lithium again after a few years off and havent noticed any real weight gain. The first time I took it a few years ago I did have some weight gain though. Results can vary though, of course- I think the real concern with lithium is the thyroid suppression- which happened to me the last time I took it. They weight has not been a big issue with me as far as lithium goes - hope that helps -
WOW! I am so glad you mentioned that. I am hypothyroid. I vaguely remember reading a long time ago that suppression of thyroid was a possible side effect from it. I shouldn't ever take lithium.THANKS!
