I have control over my Bipolar Disorder. Lithium allows me to slow down and think clearer and make better thoughts. Law abiding thoughts. I get to see the outcome before I do something.

I was diagnosed with Bipolar I when I was 16, (upon having my 1st manic episode requiring in-patient hosp.) I took lithium carbonate for more than 30 years. I then (slowly) transitioned to lithium orotate, due to concerns of side effects with the carbonate. I am extremely happy with the orotate (no side affects, and VERY effective!) after almost 3 years. Hope this is helpful to someone out there, who might want to research further.
