Paul,
Have you personally experienced benefit from lithium orotate? If so, could you give us your subjective experience on how it fares with other lithiums? If you haven't had personal experience, do you know of anyone else who has tried it? Is it perhaps the web material only that you're citing? The research papers sound intriguing, and that's how I was temporarily convinced (snookered is more like it) but I have to agree with Larry's biochemical reasoning and with my own experience. It would be helpful to get some first-hand experience besides my own trial which bordered on dangerous.I think that titrating up on Li Orotate while titrating down on Li carbonate is much safer trial than how I did it. Lithium orotate even at double the dose couldn't prevent or pull me out of a manic depressive state. It really was quite ineffective and the fact that the Serenity folks are making these claims bothers me alot. - BarbaraCat
