Well, apparently both lithium and TCA's can cause weight gain, though theoreticaly, since I'd just be using them to augment, I wouldn't be on that high of a dose of either one of them and wellbutrin has appetite-suppressing properties (which is one of the things I loved about it). And the truth it, if I actually got near 100% remission out of either combo (or by bringing up the wellbutrin to 600mg), I think I'd find it much easier to get back in the swing of exercising and eating more healthfully.
But you're right -- weight gain is a concern with both of those, though I managed to keep my weight in check pretty easily with the wellbutrin, vyvanse, abilify combo, despite the fact that abilify definitely caused cravings for sweets (especially at night). I think I'd have to be on a fairly high dose of wellbutrin and a stimulent to help keep my appetite at bay, though, if I were to go with either of those augments.
