>I have gained 3 pounds since Friday night on Lithium with an average amout of calories between 250 - 500 a day.
Restricting your calories like this will just make things worse. Lithium will do more damage to your metabolism if you are not eating properly. I understand this may be very difficult for you to grasp given your eating disorder. Not only is it bad to restrict calories to this extent, but you are likely missing out on the types of foods that are beneficial for weight management. I'm sorry your having such a difficult time right now. Hopefully you will get through that list sooner than later and a therapist will be able to help you.
