I have gained 15lbs. while on lithium past 41/2 yrs. I do not want to gain more dieting doesn't work. I read that lithium does something to the metabolism so that it doesn't work.  I don't want to stop taking lithium since it works for me am feeling great . i take 600-900 mg. a day. what could i take to reduce appetite and get metabolism to work.  i am very sensitive so i can't take anything too strong.  thanks for any ideas
