Suggest dosage for natural Lithium Carbonate to treat mania
human
I am tapering off of generic lithium carbonate taking one 150mg every other day today is day 6 of the every other day. I have been on it for a year started at one then two then three back to two now one. Hate doped feeling tired and wired. I want to know if I can start taking the natural liquid lithium carbonate and how much. My kind psychiatrist is still a shrink and all they do is want to drug you a little or a lot and my system and brain is fried. I am adrenally burned out. Hormones are shot to pieces as well. I am turning 62 in 10 days and cannot mess with hormones as my mom died of ovarian cancer at 59 and I inherited the mental disorder curse from her and her mother.

HiLithium carbonate should always be tapered under guidance of a psychiatrist,It's a very toxic drug,Doses should be tapered off by 50 mg per week.Sudden withdrawal of the drug can cause increase in symptoms,Hence don,t try to taper off mmedicine on your own.Do it strictly under guidance of a pyschiatrist.
