You may be right about the medication aspect. For 25 years, I've taken lithium and it works well for me, but I know gaining weight is a side-effect. I changed to depakote a few years back,lost 10 pounds or so, but then mania struck again. So now I'm back on 600 mgs. Lithium. Thats all I have to take since my stress level is way down since I moved out on my own again. I know theres a new mood stabilizer on the market thats susposed to help with weight gain, but I'm leary of anything new because of what happened with the Depakote. Let me know if you have info on this new drug. Thank you for helping me out. CM
