Lithium orotate and carbonate are pretty much the same thing. There is a chance you may fair better on the orotate for whatever reason. I think the half life is the same with the two, so you shouldn't have to worry about having to take orotate more often than carbonate. Still, something tells me the half life is longer with carbonate, I have no way of substantiating this. I'm assuming you were taking the regular and not the extended release version of Lithium Carbonate.
You need to talk to your doctor about your plan and ask him if he will work with you on it. I would leave out the wellbutrin for now and maybe add it in a few months if you felt like you needed more help.
