> hmmm thanks some things to think about i guess! my "med x" is lithium....so far i THINK i have more hunger, but it's hard to say i only recently started it a couple weeks ago. my doc said there are also thyroid meds that can counteract this problem as well i guess?

> thanks again

With Lithium it's usually water weight since lithium is a salt. But over time Lithium can kill off your thyroid and cause hypothyroidism and weight gain.

Some people gain weight on ADs because their depression lifts and they feel better and they start to eat normally again.
