I think that it has helped me. I have been able to have some Alcohol free days when earlier I could not. I also think that the glutamine has helped in that regard too.
Lucy is the poster who brought up the idea to me. I get it from amazon and it costs less than $16 for 200 pills. That is a 50 day supply when I take 4 a day.
but I am taking all of my psych meds too. and lots of supplements.

Yes I messaged Lucy and she was a great help. So you're actually taking 20mg of the elemental lithium per day. I was going to start out at 15 and see how that goes. I'm BP1 and my major issue right now is mood swings with agitation. Has it helped your mood?? I have a bit of an angry streak in me that I'm trying to get rid of.
I asked my pdoc for a stabilizer and you know what she told me? She said "work it out in T!" Lol! So whatever, I'll try this. And I'm getting a new pdoc next visit anyway.
