Has anyone heard about Lithium Orotate. It is an over the counter supplement not the prescription Lithium. From what I read it crosses the blood brain barrier. You need to take much less of it than the prescription Lithium to get the same benefits. Therefore side effects are minimal. I am very curious about it because I have tried to take prescription lithium 3 times and had to stop because of side effects.
I'll be interested to hearabout your experience with NAC. Please update after a while. I read it can be particularly helpful for people who haven't had success on the traditional meds.
I haven't heard of Lithium Orotate...will have to do some research.
In the meantime, I did order some NAC. We'll see...
