  • Title: [Weight gain secondary to treatment with lithium carbonate].
    Author: Moral Iglesias L, González-Pinto Arrillaga A, Saiz Ruiz J.
    Journal: Actas Luso Esp Neurol Psiquiatr Cienc Afines; 1989; 17(1):32-5. PubMed ID: 2497625.
    Abstract:
    During one year we have studied the weight gain secondary to lithium in 80 patients in long-term maintenance treatment. Out of 80 patients, 28 increased weight. Nearly all gained less than 10% of initial weight. There is not connection between weight and thirst or edema. Weight gain was not a cause for discontinuation treatment.
