I'm on lithium and I didn't gain weight but I don't think it's helping me...

Im On lithium currently. I feel like I haven’t felt as bad as I used to but it’s made me feel numb. I’ve gained 7 pounds.

I’ve been on lithium for a while now and haven’t gained any weight it’s been pretty helpful at managing my episodes. Just remember medications don’t make episodes go away for the most part. They just tend to make them less severe and more manageable. I have had one hypo manic episode since being on lithium and I’d call that a win since it didn’t reach full mania

I am bipolar type one gained too much weight it is why I got off found another solutions research a lot now I am studying nutrition for that very reason.
