It's an anti depressant.  I wonder if this guy has blown himself up yet.

For the dozens of legit uses people pick one they dislike.  Seriously.  This is chemistry, not moralizing about what people may or may not do on their own time.

Couldn't agree more.
However, the fact he was considering boiling HCL and dropping in Li is more than a little crazy.

I really want to know what he ended up doing.

The proposed reaction in my pregrad medicinal chemistry book for production of Li2CO3 is:
Li2SO4 + Na2CO3 -> Li2CO3 + Na2SO4

Back with an over due update...

I made lithium carbonate... It was cool watching it precipitate... I did not use it for anything and actually just threw it away... I can understand why some of you feel that it is necessary to question my intent since my user name is DUDEMAN...

I learned a lot from this experiment... Thanks to all of those who actually helped.

ONTO THE NEXT TOPIC!  ;D  ;D
