My son is bipolar & I've tried so many different meds, nothing worked. I decided to try Lithium Orotate, he has been responding well to it, I see an improvement, but still not 100%, there is still alot of argueing...Anyway my question is should he be taking something else along with the Lithium Orotate, like folic acid or Taurine....any suggestions would be helpful.

Perhaps he is not bipolar. Perhaps on wrong medication. You did not mention the age of your son. Children are of particular importance when labeling with a diagnosis and treating with medication. Second opinions by professionals in special areas are also in order when desired effect is not an outcome.

Hi Roseann, Have you sought some professional help? I think it would be better to seek expert guidance and help before it gets too late. I found this useful resource http://www.recoveryconnection.org/mental_health/bipolar-disorder.php?utm_source=yedda&utm_medium=pv&utm_campaign=bipolardisorder on the web. Visit them and try calling their helpline number. They may be of help to you. God Bless you!

I suffer very bad from bi-polar disorder and I get treated with Depakote ER for it. Its pretty now but it helps me more than anything. Also in the beginning I was on seroquil and it helped me extensively! Maybe you should try those for your son =)
