My sister has bipolar disorder and recently...
My sister has bipolar disorder and recently underwent a bariatric surgery (sleeve). She can no longer take Lithium capsules and no other medicine is working. I came across your article on how there is an intravenous alternative. I would like to ask you where we can get it from as I found nothing online.
She is going through a severe depression and anxiety episode and I need to get access to this intravenous lithium ASAP.
Will you please point me in the right direction?
