You are correct,

Some studies have shown surprising, Dextroamphetamine has shown to relieve manic episodes in a rapid timeframe.

I take Ritalin but have never taken Lithium Carbonate. I have read of a widely published study where a group of European PsyDocs showed that Magnesium aspartate, was as effecrtiv as Li Carbonate in treatment of BP disorder group, apparently working in somewhat similar ways, Calcium channel influx etc. I take Mag Asp daily and feel comfortable in doing so.

Cheers
