Hi
Thanks for your question.
Because we are natural medicine doctors we do not recommend pharmaceuticals but encourage natural supplements. We suggest lithium orotate instead of lithium carbonate. If you would like to know more about lithium orotate please let me know.
In answer to your question:
Lithium is a mineral that may be present in some supplements and is also used in large amounts to treat mood disorders such as bipolar disorder (manic depression). Taking lithium at the same time as amphetamines may inhibit the appetite suppressant and stimulatory effects of the amphetamines. Therefore, people taking amphetamines should take lithium only under the supervision of a doctor.
Take Care & Be Well,
