I asked a real doctor on discord what a lifetime on lithium would do to a person

Is this good or bad for the person ?

Good actually. it means the end result, they should eventually not need the lithium, but big pharma would never admit to that!

i imagine, (with no medical background!) it becomes like a placebo effect after a while and just helps big pharma in the end.

and lets be honest with ourselves. would someone on lithium ever truly want to be "cured" from it after having made lifestyle choices based off it? i don't really think so. so it becomes a catch-22.

with stockholders and big pharma and hopsitals only getting richer. the stuff is pretty expensive.

Yes can relate, kinda like me with coffee

glad to see a level headed person on glp for once lol.

What about the liver damage??

Ask your "real doctor" how often the blood needs to be tested and then ask them about toxicity levels.

You were talking to a "real doctor" who graduated, with honors, from "Draw the Turtle" University.

Dulling down neuron receptors doesnt sound so good to me tbh...

Depends if you're talking about lithium carbonate, or lithium orotate. I've taken neither, but have heard the former is dangerous. The latter alright.

The former used to be the treatment of choice for people who were, back in the day, called manic-depressive and today are referred to as bipolar.

It certainly dulled their manic phase but if blood levels were not carefully monitored death resulted, it was that toxic.

OP has demonstrated a heightened level of idiocy over the years and may well think "lithium" is shoving a lithium battery up his ass for a cheap thrill.

Like you said Larry, lithium has gotten a bad rep cos of carbonate. It's a shame orotate is lumped in the same category. Orotate is a very different compound, and the dosage is much, much, lower.
