If you think you might be bipolar (something like 80% of cocaine abusers are bipolar), you could get a script, but you dont need to take a therapeutic dose to get the neurogenerative benefits, so you could opt for lithium orotate (available at health food stores), and take about 30 mg of elemental lithium a day (varies by brand, but that works out to about 6 pills, or around 800 mg of lithium orotate).

YMMVI have been taking Lecithin b/c it contains phosphodidyl-choline which is a precursor to acetlycholine one of the n.t.'s in the brain in addition I am also taking L-tyrosine to repair the damage i did to my dopamine levels in my substantia nigra. I also take the occasional Omega 3's in fish oil pills...Thank you so much your imput is greatly appreciated.
