What Vitamins/Supplements Do You Take with Lithium?

[ANONYMOUS201705]

I am trying to find vitamins/supplements other than what I take with Lithium.  I take Centrum Multi-Vitamin, Omega Fish Oil 3000 MG, Choline (new to me), and Super-B Complex.  What other vitamins/supplements work best with you all that take Lithium? What about Echinacea, Chromium Polynicotinate, Selenium, Calcium (which one), Taurine, and Potassium Gluconate? I pulled these vitamin/supplement names off of a patient's chart from another mood tracking website. Would these vitamins/supplements that I listed help me, or have bad side effects?

Thanks!

The ones you mentioned youre taking I think are the most important ones to take in the sense that they might help with mood,I dont know much about the other ones.Lily

Be careful with the Taurine. It can really mess you up if you are sensitive. One reason to avoid those nasty energy drinks.

I would talk to your pharmacist to ensure you are taking things that work together. For example you shouldn't take your multivitamin or calcium at the same time as your meds because the calcium will reduce the effectiveness of the others.

Good whole foods at consistent times of the day are your best bet for getting the vitamins and minerals you need
