Schizo-Affective, type depressive
Seroquel 800mg
Zyprexa 15mg
Lithium orotate 360mg

Why is the dosage of Effexor so low? I needed 300 mg/day before feeling an improvement in bipolar depression.
What is your current lithium blood level?
Although I have not researched lithium orotate closely, I am not a big believer in its usage for several reasons:
1. I have not seen a chart or calculation formula that shows the biological equivalency of orotate to carbonate.
2. I have not seen any clinical studies of lithium orotate demonstrating comparable efficacy to lithium carbonate.
3. I have not seen any research demonstrating an advantage in toxicity or side effects when lithium orotate produces clinically relevant blood levels.
Of course, just because I have not seen any of these things doesn't mean that they don't exist. If you can point me in the right direction, that would be great. Thanks. :-)
