Does anybody take supplements to help with the symptoms of their BPD? I've taken many and had some success. I've been on too many prescriptions to count and none have really helped and had horrible side effects, so this is why I'm trying supplements instead.

I've found a lot of success when using Lithium Orotate, which is a safe and proven alternative to Lithium Carbonate (what doctors prescribe, and can be dangerous).

Lithium is a mood stabilizer and taking 10mg of elemental lithium (from lithium orotate) levels me out and helps me regulate my mood. Given that mood stabilizers can help stabilize your mood (as the name suggests), if you're struggling with BPD, I would highly recommend you give it a try. Some people are afraid to take things, but if it's between ruining all your relationships and ending your life, I'd rather take a pill with a very small risk of something going wrong to aid me.

Has anyone else had success with lithium orotate? If you've been on lithium carbonate, and it helped but you hated it, give orotate a try.

If the mods ban me for this, shame on you. Doctors don't even know about lithium orotate, which could save many lives on this subreddit.
