> That's interesting. A friend of mine recommended that I substitute lithium oratate for the lithium 450 mg/day that I take. He says that lithium oratate enters the brain more readily than pharmaceutical lithium. It would thus be less toxic to the body overall because at therapeutic dosages, a lower blood level is sufficient. I have elected not to make the switch at this time, though. I need to invest more time in the treatment that I am now responding to. Once I am convinced that I am nearing remission with my present regime, I will consider a substitution.

I have no idea where Orotate's place lies in the treatment of clinical BP .. as I say, it's mostly a case of self-medication and I'd be wary of recommending it to anyone else without supervision if indeed what they're experiencing is mania
