[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 483474, member: 1550"] Going back to the medication, Lithium starves you. My son was on it for three years and he gained so much weight...that was one reason I finally was able to question the psychiatrist and re-evaluate his diagnosis. Many psychiatric medications starve you on their own and even an adult gains weight. It is almost impossible not to crave sweets. An easy answer is to say, "He's growing so he's hungry." Well, this happens. But if it is constant hunger 24/7 and a new medication known as a weight gainer has been added in my opinion it is probably the medication causing the insatiable hunger. Depakote is worse, but Lithium is also very bad for weight gain. That's why a lot of adults won't take it.Prozac can cause weight gain too, but is more weight neutral than Lithum. [/QUOTE]
