Have you noticed a change in your diet at all? Have you eaten more carbs or larger portions. I noticed I was hungrier on certain drugs and had to be very very careful. If the benefits of the drugs outweigh the weight gain, just try to up your workouts and add some weight training to counteract the gains. Keep a food diary, everything you put in your mouth and see if it's at all self-inflicted. It usually is.
> I've been on lithium about a year and a half or 2 yrs; NEVER weight gain. I've been on neurontin about one year or so, still never weight gain. but the last two months I've started gaining lots and lots of weight. I started serzone about a month and a half ago. I'm pretty sure I started gaining a little before starting it. can lithium or neurontin have delayed weight gain?? and serzone certainly isn't supposed to cause it anyways is it? my dr took me off the lithium the other day, he said to quit that or neurontin. lithium helps less so I quit it. but still, it seems like even the last few days I can see I've gained some!!!! I don't know what to do about it. it can't get any worse, it's driving me crazy, esp cause I've always been very very thin. I've gone from a pants size 6 to 12 in about 2 months. I cannot stand it!
