lithium with wellbutrin question
I take lithium carbonate and buproprion. Will I still have a chance of gaining excessive weight? I am not overweight now and do not want to be. Is there a certain type of lithium that will decrease the chances of weight gain? My psychologist mentioned there is now one.
Wellbutrin tends to cause weight loss, and it's a crap shoot whether or not lithium will make you gain. I have never heard of a type of lithium that would make you less likely to gain, because lithium is about as simple as it gets, in the chemical sense. There are other bipolar drugs that are less likely to make you gain, but I don't think there's a difference between one brand of lithium and another (other than release time).
