Any members had experience with either carbonate or orotate? It’s seems somewhat promising and the mechanism makes sense. Planning on trying a micro micro micro dose (empty out pill and take the dust inside) to see how I react. Hopefully it’s not the same as sodium butyrate which nearly took me out.
Hi,
Could you please explain the mechanism behind that? Also please let us know about your progress.
If you go to the accutane recovery reddit stylists everyrhjng. I’m not 100 sure I’m going to try i am extremely sensitive so it’s like Russian roulette

don’t take anything!
my body is like yours, in an incredibly fragile state and taking anything could result in a major catastrophe
I think I had a bad experience from butyrate as well, and I think it’s something I need to avoid.
I’ve experimented with lithium orotate supplements, and I haven’t had any obvious crashes or downturns, at least not like butyrate. If your body and PFS/PAS is like mine, I would guess that taking a small dose of lithium is unlikely to be outright dangerous like butyrate. The few anecdotes on this and other forums of people who took lithium seem to be devoid of say, people who took one or a few doses and then ended up crashing.
I’m not sure if I would recommend it. I can’t recommend against it either. If you do, I think micro dosing and being very cautious is still a good idea.
Keep in mind that, if you take too high of a dose, lithium can have undesirable effects on your mood, energy levels, and cognition. This is aside from any affect it has on PFS or PAS. But this should dissipate once you stop taking it and let it clear out of your system.
Have you considered trying anything in particular to fix your gut or microbiome? I wonder if butyrate has such a negative effect, it’s a sign of a bad microbiome or dysbiosis that needs to be fixed or cleared out.
