@nycmusic when I told my SO's (82 yo female) neurologist that she and I started taking 10mg of lithium in Aug 2025 she blew me off by saying it was just a mouse study and overdose of lithium can have consequences. I reminded her that lithium carbonate is 1000 times our dosage of lithium and it's been used to treat neurological issues for years. Our dosage is only 10mg of lithium orotate. The recent "mouse" study was done by noted scientists at Harvard and is the only thing we have now. My SO was rejected as being too far along for Leqembi.

@nycmusic lithium rotate should not be taken without clearance from doctors…it does interact negatively with certain meds and NSAIDS, which can increase toxicity…many people swear by it, but be very careful with this, even though it is tempting to use it to ward off dementia.
