Fish oil works well for me, though I haven't went off lithium since being on the fish oil.I don't think there's any way to know if there are any substitutes that would work for an individual. I was drawing attention to the idea that anyone using prescribed lithium salts for mood stabilization should avoid over-the-counter self-medication with lithium orotate. They are not the same thing, despite what the website says.
