Lithium orotate comes in caps and tabs of 120mg and also tabs of 134mg.
120mg LiOrotate is equivalent to ~500mg lithium carbonate.
LiOrotate is ~ 4% elemental Lithium.
LiCarbonate is ~ 20% " " .
120mg LiOrotate contains~4.8mg elemental lithium.
500mg LiCarbonate contains ~ 100mg " " .
You can see from this the 20x bio-activity of LiOrotate over LiCarbonate.
For bi-polar diorder a starting dose would be 1 cap(tab) 3x/day. If mood doesn't stabilize the dosage can be increased gradually to 6/day.
Even at 6/day your lithium intake is about half that of 1 300mg tab lithium carbonate.
Dietary supplement dose is 1-2/day.
It's pretty cheap too. Vitamin Research sells 120mg caps-qty.120 for $11.95. There are other places that sell it for even less.
Here's an interesting article about lithium-

So how's it going with the Remeron? Are you still on it? I know you cut down on the dose.
