That’s not how lithium works. Lithium is an ion and is thought to affect the ion channels in neurons and altering their excitability. It isn’t a dopamine antagonist like antipsychotics.
I haven’t taken lithium, but I have heard of the otc/non-prescription lithium supplement(it isn’t a vitamin- you don’t need it) you are talking about. It isn’t a good idea for a few reasons. Lithium is powerful and can be dangerous (regardless of the source the lithium). They monitor patients on it for a reason. Your doctor should know you are taking lithium.
If you are on by Vyvanse then you should just ask the doctor to prescribe a mood stabilizer that won’t interfere with it.
Sometimes stuff is put on sale just because it sounds legit enough to be marketable and is technically legal- not because it is nutritional or that you should take it.
