▸ Editor's verdict SKIP-PERMANENT HIGH
This is the bipolar disorder mood stabilizer at therapeutic dose. For a 20yo with no bipolar diagnosis there is no indication, and the side-effect profile (thyroid suppression, renal damage at chronic use, tremor, weight gain, GI distress, narrow therapeutic window) makes any "biohacking" use case unacceptable. Different from lithium-orotate (5-20 mg elemental, sold OTC) which achieves serum levels orders of magnitude below pharmacological — that has its own file. Verdict SKIP-PERMANENT here means: pharmaceutical-dose lithium is not a biohacking tool, it is psychiatric treatment.
