Hi. I have taken lithium for 10 years and I gained weight. I exercise and try to eat right, but I still gained. Some research says that it might not be becasue of the medication, but because of the increase in the calories consumed by drinking juices and sodas. Most people on lithium drink more because of the thirst, so the weight might be attributed to drinking calorie-filled beverages.
