In reply to Re: Lars, Linkadge or Netch? Dose glycine taurine? » Alvin, posted by Netch on September 1, 2007, at 4:13:57
Thanks Netch. Do you have any preference, for example you mentioned lithium orotate? Do you prefer that to taurine and glycine?
Have there been studies on the effectiveness of any of these AAs and lithium orotate for bipolar rapid cycling? Or is it mostly anecdotal?
> Alvin, I would suggest starting with 500 mg x 3 of taurine and glycine. Total daily dose for each AA is usually 1-3 gram for bipolar disorders. Another alternative mood stabilizer is lithium orotate (5-20 mg elemental lithium)
