Thanks for your concern, Ron. It's a weird tale. When we were gone recently for 2 weeks finishing up my late Mom's estate stuff we had a cat sitter. I figured she'd find out I was taking lithium (humans snoop, we do), would think I was dangerous and would not sit for our cats again. So I hid a few bottles of meds in a 'safe place'. So safe that I can't remember where I hid them. My first real taste of a genuine senior moment. I had a few on hand, ordered some more and want to try the orotate version. I'm feeling a little edgy and crabby, but OK. I think the nortriptyline is saving my bipolar butt, if indeed I am really bipolar. Now I have to go make nice to my husband whose head I almost bit off earlier. It's not just lack of lithium. Sometimes he really is a jerk.
> Barb, why did you let yourself run out of lithium carbonate before your shipment of lithium orotate arrives? You know as well as I do that some research shows it can be risky to discontinue lithium because, in some cases, the lithium does not seem to work as well second time around.
