write or wrong – I have been following this thread and my heart goes out to you. You sound like such a wonderful mother and I can tell that you really love your son.
Mom12 – You mentioned lithium oratate, which is derived from lithium. Lithium is a mood stabilizer used for patients with bipolar disorder. It has a very narrow therapeutic range and toxicity can happen very easily. Toxicity leads to coarse tremors, to a coma, and to death. People who are prescribed lithium have their blood levels checked every 2 weeks. I do not think it’s a good idea to take anything derived from lithium without speaking to a medical professional.
