One of the psychiatrist that followed me advised me to get on lithium for the suicidal ideations, while the current one thinks that it would be better to avoid it (but sometimes it seems to me that he downplays things). Anyway, I'm going to fix an appointment ecc. Obviously I don't want medical advice here, but what I want to know from people using it is: was it worth it for you? During the time I was on olanzapine I experienced a substantial weight gain, and since I've always had weight problems since I was a kid this topic is very important to me. Obviously this psychological part is to be addressed w/ a psychologist, but I wanted to know your experience.
